For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek; for the same Lord over all, х ho (G3588) gar (G1063) autos (G846) Kurios (G2962) pantoon (G3956) ploutoon (G4147)] - 'the same Lord of all [is] rich;' or, 'The same [is] Lord of all, rich?' Perhaps this last is the thing intended. But the reference, we take it, is not to God the Father (as Calvin, Grotius, Olshausen, Hodge), but to Christ, as may be seen by comparing Romans 10:9; Romans 10:12-13, and observing the apostle's usual style on such subjects. (So Origen, Chrysostom, Melville, Bengel, Fritzsche, Meyer, de Wette, Tholuck, Stuart, Alford, Philipi). The word 'rich' is a favourite Pauline term to express the exuberance of that saving grace which is in Christ Jesus,
Unto all that call upon him. This confirms the application of the preceding words to Christ; since to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus is a customary New Testament phrase. (See Acts 7:59-60; Acts 9:14; Acts 9:21; Acts 22:16; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 2 Timothy 2:22; and compare Acts 10:36; Philippians 2:11.
