To the preceding, St. Paul now adds two more prerogatives. Theirs are the fathers — The patriarchs and holy men of old, yea, the Messiah himself. Who is over all, God blessed for ever — The original words imply the self — existent, independent Being, who was, is, and is to come. Over all — The supreme; as being God, and consequently blessed for ever. No words can more dearly express his divine, supreme majesty, and his gracious sovereignty both over Jews and, gentiles.
