Verse. 1. And by God the Father, vvhich hath raised him from the dead.
Paul is so inflamed here with zeal, that he can not tarry till he come to the matter it self, but forthwith in the very title he bursteth out and uttereth what he hath in his heart.1 His intent in this Epistle is to treat of the righteousness that cometh by faith, and to defend the same: Again, to overthrow the law, and the righteousness that cometh by works. Of such cogitations he is full, and out of this wonderful and exceeding great abundance of the excellent wisdom and knowledge of Christ in his heart, his mouth speaketh. This flame,2 this great burning fire of his heart can not be hid, nor suffer him to hold his tongue: and therefore he thought it not enough to say that he was an Apostle sent by Jesus Christ, but also addeth: by God the Father which raised him up from the dead.
