{The casting away of them} (h(8820)apobol(8820)aut(936e)). Objective
genitive (aut(936e)) with apobol(885c), old word from apoball(935c), to
throw off ( Mr 10:50 ), in N.T. only here and Ac 27:22 . {The
reconciling of the world} (katallag(8820)kosmou). See 5:10f. for
katallag(885c) (reconciling). It explains verse 12 . {The
receiving} (h(8820)prosl(886d)psis). Old word from proslamban(935c), to
take to oneself, only here in N.T. {Life from the dead} (z(9388) ek
nekr(936e)). Already the conversion of Jews had become so difficult.
It is like a miracle of grace today, though it does happen. Many
think that Paul means that the general resurrection and the end
will come when the Jews are converted. Possibly so, but it is by
no means certain. His language may be merely figurative.
