For his name.] We execute not the office of an Apostle for our own gain or glory, but for the name, that is, for the glory and praise of Christ Jesus. in all nations. And in that he addeth in all nations, he showeth that the office of the Apostles was not contract to certain limits, but that they should throughout the whole world preach the word committed unto them, and found Churches and bring disciples unto Christ.
For his name.] We execute not the office of an Apostle for our owne gayne or glory, but for the name, that is, for the glory and prayse of Christ Iesu. in al nacions. And in that he addeth in all nacions, he sheweth that the office of the Apostles was not contract to certayne limites, but that they should throughout the whole world preach the word committed vnto them, and found Churches and bringe disciples vnto Christ.
In which ye also are the called of Jesus Christ.] Although ye be Lords over all, yet nevertheless ye are in the number of other nations. He calleth them the called of Christ: because without calling they had not come unto him. Neither1 used he the participle which hath the signification of time, and that to the end he would wish them constancy, and stability in the purpose which they had taken in hand, as though they had not a temporal calling, but a firm & constant. And in that he so often useth the name of calling he sufficiently declareth, what manner of thing our conversation is when we embrace Christ. It is undoubtedly voluntary, and not compelled nor violent. We are persuaded, when we are with efficacy called by the inward word of God. Here is the end of the parenthesis, which began at these words, which he had before promised by his prophets.
In which ye also are the called of Iesus Christ.] Although ye be Lordes ouer all, yet neuertheles ye are in the number of other nacions. He calleth them the called of Christ: because without calling they had not come vnto him. Neyther1
