Romans 1:2

Verse 2

2. Promised This Gospel is new and yet old. Old, as being really folded up in the Old Testament and concealed in its precious promises; new, as unfolded and unfurled in a fresh form and promulgation. The apostle here and in this whole epistle develops what he had maintained in all his arguments with the Jews in their synagogues in their various cities, and in his defences in their various arraignments, that new Christianity was but the real continuity of old Israelitism, and that modern Judaism was but its cast-off garments. (See note on Acts 26:1; Acts 6:13; Acts 7:2.)

Promised afore Even as early as the protevangelium or primal Gospel announcement. (Genesis 3:15.)
