Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 15:8

8. Now I say , that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision w for the truth of God , to confirm the promises made to the fathers :

He explains himself, and declares more at large, how Christ received both Iewes and Gentiles, thereby to admonish them to receive one another. As for the Iewes, whom he calls here the Circumcision, vid. chap. 3.30. and 4.9, 12. he saith, Christ became a Minister unto them, vid. Mat. 20.28. He Exercised his Ministry in the dayes of the Flesh amongst them only, Mat. 15.24. He went indeed now and then into the Coasts of Samaria to make way for the calling of the Gentiles, but his chief aboad was in Iewry.

Or because of the Truth of God, that his truth or faithfulness might not fail.

i. e. The promises of the Messiah, made first to Adam, then to Abraham and to David, that the Messiah should come of their loynes, that in their seed all the Nations of the Earth should be blessed.
