Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

Be it known to you therefore, that this salvation of God has been sent to the nations; they also will hear it.

'Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;'

"Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation - God's salvation - has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed."

Be certain, then, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will give hearing.

Therefore, let it be known to you, that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they shall listen to it."

Understand, then, that this salvation of God was sent for the Gentiles; and they will listen."

Therefore be it. Lest the Jews may afterward accuse him of revolting, because he forsaketh the holy stock of Abraham, and goeth to the profane Gentiles; he denounceth that which the prophets did so often testify, that the salvation whereof they were the proper, at least the principal [1] heirs, should be translated unto strangers. Notwithstanding, whereas he saith that salvation was sent to the Gentiles, he meaneth, in the second place, to wit, after that the Jews had rejected it, as we have said before more at large (Acts 13:46) Therefore, the sense is, that there is no cause why the Jews should complain if the Gentiles be admitted into the void possession after that they have forsaken it. Neither doth he make faith common to all the Gentiles in general, when he saith that they shall hear. For he had full well tried, that even many of the Gentiles did wickedly resist God, but he setteth so many of the Gentiles as believed against the unbelieving Jews, that he may provoke them unto jealousy; as it is in the Song of Moses (Deuteronomy 32:21). In the mean season, he signifieth that the doctrine which they refuse shall profit others.

Footnotes

1 - "Primarii," primary.

The salvation of God - The knowledge of God's mode of saving people.
Is sent unto the Gentiles - Since you have rejected it, it will be offered to them. See the notes on Acts 13:46.
And that they will hear it - They will embrace it. Paul was never discouraged. If the gospel was rejected by one class of people he was ready to offer it to another. If his own countrymen despised it, he never allowed himself to suppose that Christ had died in vain, but believed that others would embrace its saving benefits. How happy would it be if all Christians had the same unwavering faith and zeal as Paul.

The salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles - St. Paul had spoken to this effect twice before, Acts 13:46, and Acts 18:6, where see the notes; but here he uses a firmer tone, being out of the Jewish territories, and under the protection of the emperor. By the salvation of God, all the blessings of the kingdom of Christ are intended. This salvation God could have sent unto the Gentiles, independently of the Jewish disobedience; but He waited till they had rejected it, and then reprobated them, and elected the Gentiles. Thus the elect became reprobate, and the reprobate elect.
They will hear it - That is, they will obey it; for ακουειν signifies, not only to hear, but also to obey.

(15) Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it.
(15) The unbelief of the reprobate and castaways cannot cause the truth of God to be of no effect.

Be it known therefore unto you,.... Unbelievers and despisers, take this along with you at parting, and do not say you were never acquainted with it:
that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles; meaning the Gospel, which is a publication and declaration of that salvation, which God contrived from all eternity; made provision for, and secured in the covenant of grace; which he appointed, called, and sent Christ to effect, in the fulness of time; and which he has accomplished, by his obedience, sufferings, and death; even a full, complete, spiritual, and eternal salvation, from sin, Satan, the world, the curse of the law, and eternal death; that that Gospel which proclaims this, and is the power of God unto it, to them that believe, is sent to the Gentile world, by God himself, who has ordered his ministers to turn to them, upon the rejection of it by the Jews:
and that they will hear it: and do understand it and obey it, believe it and profess it: this the apostle could assert upon his own knowledge, who had preached it in many nations of the world; and could testify how gladly they heard it, with what pleasure they received it, how readily they obeyed it, and how cheerfully they professed it, and how steadily they held it; though the Jews despised and put it away from them, judging themselves unworthy of everlasting life: this the apostle says, reproaching them with their folly, stupidity, and infidelity; when the Gentiles, which knew not God, received the Gospel and are saved.

the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear--(See on Acts 13:44-48). "This departure to the Gentiles" he had intimated to the perverse Jews at Antioch (Acts 13:46), and at Corinth (Acts 18:6); now at Rome: thus in Asia, Greece, and Italy" [BENGEL].

The salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles - Namely, from this time. Before this no apostle had been at Rome. St. Paul was the first.
