SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:15
Solamente de tus padres se agradó el SEÑOR para amarlos, y escogió su simiente después de ellos, a vosotros, de entre todos los pueblos, como parece en este día.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. Only the Lord had a delight in thy fathers to love them , etc.] Though the heavens and the earth, and all the inhabitants of them are the Lord’s by creation, yet he had a special regard unto, and a peculiar complacency in, the fathers of the Israelites, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; from whence arose some particular expressions of love to them, signified by various acts of kindness done them, and promises made unto them: and he chose their seed after them, even you above all the people, as [it is] this day ; to be a special people to him, to enjoy civil and religious privileges greater than any other; and particularly to have his law given to them, his tabernacle and worship set up among them, which were at this time, and which gave them the preference to all other nations; (see Deuteronomy 4:7,8 7:6,7,8 <19E719> Psalm 147:19,20 Romans 3:1,2 9:4,5).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-22 - We are here taught our duty to God in our principles and our practices We must fear the Lord our God. We must love him, and delight i communion with him. We must walk in the ways in which he has appointe us to walk. We must serve him with all our heart and soul. What we d in his service we must do cheerfully, and with good will. We must kee his commandments. There is true honour and pleasure in obedience. We must give honour to God; and to him we must cleave, as one we love an delight in, trust in, and from whom we have great expectations. We ar here taught our duty to our neighbour. God's common gifts to mankin oblige us to honour all men. And those who have themselves been in distress, and have found mercy with God, should be ready to sho kindness to those who are in the like distress. We are here taught ou duty to ourselves. Circumcise your hearts. Cast away all corrup affections and inclinations, which hinder you from fearing and lovin God. By nature we do not love God. This is original sin, the sourc whence our wickedness proceeds; and the carnal mind is enmity agains God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be; s then they that are in the flesh cannot please God, Ro 8:5-9. Let us without delay or reserve, come and cleave to our reconciled God in Jesus Christ, that we may love, serve, and obey him acceptably, and be daily changed into his image, from glory to glory, by the Spirit of the Lord. Consider the greatness and glory of God; and his goodness an grace; these persuade us to our duty. Blessed Spirit! Oh for the purifying, persevering, and renewing influences, that being called ou of the state of strangers, such as our fathers were, we may be foun among the number of the children of God, and that our lot may be amon the saints __________________________________________________________________
