Them he also justified] Vocation precedeth justification. Deus iustificat fide iam donatos, sicut damnat prius indurates. (Cameron.)
Them he also glorified] That is, he keepeth them glorious by his glorious Spirit, even in this life, from impenitent sin, and maketh them stable and constant in godliness.
