<p>9:24- see on 1 Thess. 4:7.</p><p><em>Even us, whom He also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?- </em>Again we note the connection with the earlier teaching about calling in Rom. 8:30, where the concept of calling is given as an example of how salvation is by grace. That calling pays no regard to ethnicity; for whoever hears the invitation is in that sense called to the Kingdom. Therefore it is not the case that only Jews were called; for the Gospel was being heard by non-Jews as well.</p>
