Rom 1:2 · Douay-Rheims
“Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,”
On this verse:
“Which he had promised afore . . . in the holy scriptures--Though the Roman Church was Gentile by nation (see on Rom 1:13), yet as it consisted mostly of proselytes to the Jewish faith (see on Introduction to this Epistle), they are here reminded that in embracing Christ they had not cast off, but only the more profoundly yielded themselves to, Moses and the prophets (Act 13:32-33).”
