Commentary

Therefore--Because of the anxiety I feel that the Gospel should be extended; that anxiety being implied in Ti2 2:9. endure--not merely "I passively suffer," but "I actively and perseveringly endure," and "am ready to endure patiently all things." the elect's sakes--for the sake of the Church: all the members of Christ's spiritual body (Col 1:24). they . . . also--as well as myself: both God's elect not yet converted and those already so. salvation . . . glory--not only salvation from wrath, but glory in reigning with Him eternally (Ti2 2:12). Glory is the full expansion of salvation (Act 2:47; Rom 8:21-24, Rom 8:30; Heb 9:28). So grace and glory (Psa 84:12).
