SCRIPTURE

"Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth." — Acts 13:26 (ASV)

Children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God.—The two classes are, as before (see Note on Acts 13:16), again pointedly contrasted with each other.

To you is the word of this salvation sent.—The demonstrative pronoun implies that the salvation which Saint Paul proclaimed rested on the work of Jesus the Saviour (Acts 13:23), and was found in union with Him. (Compare “this life” in Acts 5:20.)
