Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

EXPLANATION

Verse 10. The elect. By the elect, we need not always understand those predestinated to eternal glory, but chosen or called to the true faith; and this must rather be the meaning of Saint Paul in this place, who could not distinguish between those predestinated to glory and others. Witham.—Therefore I announce it with full liberty, suffering willingly all I have to endure for the sake of the elect.
