| From the
Geneva Notes.
 | "Last of all he
declares the sum of his doctrine, that is, that all the promises of
salvation are sure and ratified in Christ. Christ is set also forth to
exhibit and fulfil them most assuredly, and without any doubt." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "Nothing can render
God's promises more certain: his giving them through Christ, assures us
they are his promises; as the wonders God wrought in the life,
resurrection, and ascension of his Son, confirm faith." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes.
| "For it is God alone
that is able to fulfil these promises." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "...unto the glory of
God by us--Greek, 'for glory unto God by us'
(compare 2Co
4:15), that is, by our ministerial labors; by us His promises, and
His unchangeable faithfulness to them, are proclaimed. CONYBEARE
takes the 'Amen' to be the Amen at the close of thanksgiving:
but then 'by us' would have to mean what it cannot mean here, 'by us and you.'" |
|
| From The People's New
Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "He gives us our
stability so that our gospel is yea, sure and steadfast." |

make, fancy, or construct, but who was there before ever you were, who is

gift." |
