Them he also glorified— These words should be rendered, Them he hath also glorified, by giving them that Spirit who is the earnest of the glory of the faithful, they being blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ, Ephesians 1:3 they being quickened together with Christ, and raised up together, and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, Ephesians 2:5-6. And by reason of this Holy Spirit given, with the preaching of the Gospel, the ministration of justification is said to bein glory, as being the ministration of the Spirit of God,2 Corinthians 3:8-11 and we, by participation of this Spirit of the Lord, are said, not only to behold the glory of the Lord, but also to be changed into the same image from glory to glory, Romans 8:18 of the same chapter. In favour of this interpretation let it be noted, that when the Apostle speaks of our final glorification, he still speaks of it as of a thing future, Romans 8:17-18; Romans 8:21 whereas he here speaks of glorification as of a thing past, saying whom he hath justified, them he hath also glorified. So when a miracle was wrought in Christ's name, God glorified him, Acts 3:13. See Luke 4:15.John 8:54; John 11:4; John 13:31-32; John 14:14. 1 Corinthians 12:26.
