8. The Gentile Church ( :- ). "We," that is, the Hebrew Church, which heretofore admitted Gentiles to communion, only by becoming Judaic proselytes. Now first idolatrous Gentiles are admitted directly ( :- ). Generally, the saint's anxiety for other souls ( Mark 5:19 ; John 4:28 ; John 4:29 ). no breasts —neither faith nor love as yet (see on John 4:29- : ), which "come by hearing" of Him who first loved us. Not yet fit to be His bride, and mother of a spiritual offspring. what shall we do —the chief question in the early Church at the first council ( John 4:29- : ). How shall "the elder brother" treat the "younger," already received by the Father ( John 4:29- : )? Generally ( 2 Samuel 15:15 ; John 9:4 ; Acts 9:6 ; Galatians 6:10 ). In the day . . . spoken for —that is, when she shall be sought in marriage ( Galatians 6:10- : ), namely, by Jesus Christ, the heavenly bridegroom. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-9" class="com-number"
