"but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:" — Romans 2:10 (ASV)
But glory, honour, and peace
Which are so many words for the everlasting happiness of the saints; which is a "crown of glory that fades not away" (( 1 Peter 5:4) ); an honour exceeding that of the greatest potentates upon earth, since such that enjoy it will be kings and priests, and sit with Christ on his throne to all eternity; and is a peace that passes all understanding:
all which will be rendered
to every man that does good, to the Jew first, and also to the
Gentile ;
which none without Christ, and his grace, and by the strength of nature, does, or can do;
not that good works are causes of salvation, but are testimonies of faith, and fruits of grace, with which salvation is connected, whether they be found in Jews or Gentiles; for neither grace nor salvation are peculiar to any nation, or set of people.
