12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Grecian, for he that is Lord over all, is rich unto all, that call on him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
12 For there is no difference betweene the Iewe and the Grecian, for hee that is Lorde ouer all, is rich vnto all, that call on him. For whosoeuer shall call vpon the name of the Lorde shalbe saued.
11 For the scripture saith. having noted the causes why God did justly reject the Jews, he returneth to affirm or prove the calling of the Gentiles: which is the other part of the question, wherein he is now conversant. Because therefore he had declared the way whereby men come unto salvation, and the same is no less common and open for the Gentiles then the Jews: Now adding first an universal sign, he doeth plainly extend it to the Gentiles: secondly he also calleth the Gentiles by name unto it. And he repeateth that testimony which he had already alleged out of Isaiah, that his sentence might have the more authority: and also that it might appear how well the Prophecies spoken of Christ do consent with the law.
