Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
ExplanationCommentary
Verse 30. And whom he predestinated, them he also called to the true faith and to his service, without any deserts in them, nay, when all mankind were guilty of eternal death, by original sin.—And whom he called, them he also justified, by faith, by hope, by a love of him, and a true penance.—And whom he justified, them he also glorified. That is, hath decreed to glorify. Yet not all who have been justified, but only his elect, who are under his special protection, and to whom he grants a perseverance in his grace to the end: so that the call to faith, their sanctification, their final perseverance, and glorification in heaven, are the effects of their free election and predestination. Witham.
