Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) The gift of God.--The natural antithesis would be "wages;" but this would here be inappropriate, and therefore the Apostle substitutes "the free gift." In spite of your sanctification as Christians, still you will not have earned eternal life; it is the gift of God's grace.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekForγὰρ (gar)ConjunctionStrong's 1063: For.
