“(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)”
The gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures. Paul immediately roots the gospel in Scripture, establishing that it is not a novel invention but the fulfillment of God's ancient promises. The gospel is not merely an announcement but the accomplishment of what the Old Testament prophets foretold. This hermeneutical move anchors Christian proclamation in the continuous narrative of divine redemption, from Abraham through the prophets to Jesus Christ.
