Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 2:11

11. For there is no respect of persons with God .

This seems to be borrowed from 2 Chron. 19.7. and Deut. 10.17. You have the same again, Act. 10.34. vid. I[illegible: 1 letter]b. 34.19. Gal. 2.6. Ephes. 6.9. 1 Pet. 1.17. vid. G[illegible: 1 letter]l. 3.28. Obj. God loved Iacob, and hated Esau ▪ when they were yet Unborn, and had done neither Good nor Evil? Answ. This was not properly a Respecting of Persons, because God did not this as a Judge, but as an Elector. So the Apostle states it, Rom. 9.11, 12, 13. God is Gracious to whom He will be Gracious, and may do what He will with his own.
