Romans 9:10-12 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;… 1. Not personal, but national. 2. Not to eternal salvation, but to earthly privileges. 3. Not determined by works, but by grace. 4. Not intended to establish the doctrine of unconditional election to eternal life and the predestination of others to eternal damnation, but the unconditional election of the Gentiles to the benefits of the gospel and the national rejection of the Jews. (J. Lyth, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;WEB: Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac. |
