Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Even us, whom he hath called, х hous (G3739) kai (G2532) ekalesen (G2564) humas (G5209)] - rather, 'Whom he also called, even us;' that is, that He might make known the riches of His glory in not only 'afore preparing,' but in 'due time effectually calling us.'
The Calling of the Gentiles, and the Preservation of only a Remnant of Israel, both Divinely Foretold-The True Secret of both Events (Romans 9:24-33)
Here, for the first time in this chapter, the calling of the Gentiles is introduced; all before having respect, not to the substitution of the called Gentiles for the rejected Jews, but to the choice of one portion and the rejection of another of the same Israel. Had Israel's rejection been total, God's promise to Abraham would not have been fulfilled by the substitution of the Gentiles in their room; but Israel's rejection being only partial, the preservation of "a remnant," in which the promise was made good, was but "according to the election of grace." And now, for the first time, the apostle tells us that along with this elect remnant of Israel it was God's purpose to "take out of the Gentiles a people for His name" (Acts 15:14), and that this had been sufficiently announced in the Old Testament Scriptures. Into this new subject the apostle-according to his usual way-slides almost imperceptibly, in the middle of the present verse; so that without careful notice the transition is apt to be overlooked.
Not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? ('not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.')
