For he has done nothing less than save the inhabitants of the earth, delivering the human race from death and destruction and the devil's snare. For he has condemned the sin that had become master through our sins, so that he has justified through faith those who are able to be with him. He became for us righteousness and redemption and sanctification before God the Father.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 3:5.41:2</i></p><p><b>Eusebius of Caesarea</b>: For it was a work of righteousness not only for the Jews but also for the other nations to be called to the knowledge of God. So who is raising up this righteousness from the dawn of the light? Who is calling all to follow him? Who is the one offering this to all the peoples so as to shock the kings of the nations and to confound the foremost among them? God resists and tames those who attack this work, sweeping away the fighters with a word of righteousness, as they are conquered by the righteousness of God. It also serves to win over those who follow this word. He makes a rough way for the feet of the enemies of righteousness. He makes smooth a path for the feet of those who walk in peace.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 2:19</i></p><p><b>Theodoret of Cyrus</b>: Of this righteousness, the blessed Paul has said in his turn: \"It is from God that we have been given wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.\" When this righteousness arose and pervaded the world, kings were dismayed, tyrants were conquered, all kinds of torments were suppressed; the persecuted overcame their persecutors, and, as if rejoicing in great peace, they ran the course that was set before them. However, the words \"it will not come\" are not to be found in the Septuagint.… They show clearly that righteousness will not come for all but [only] for believers; for the ungodly did not even desire to pay attention to divine messages.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 12:41.2</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"187fa30479b94ac0d3a1f7f949291d61321f29e7e0f962545c67498bda061b5f","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":7401,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"7ba159e14ea884f1895d573a0ad6b24fc0847a988e8f05e30095ac6c5f490800","translator":null,"work":null}
