Origen, on Rom 15:8
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Rom 15:8 · Douay-Rheims
“For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.”
On this verse:
“There are two ways in which "Christ became a servant to the circumcised." First, he was himself circumcised and so identified himself with them. Second, he fulfilled the promises of the law, so that now neither those who are circumcised nor Gentile believers are obliged to keep it any more.”
