About This Quote

In this quote from the Author of the Epistle to the Romans, Paul makes some interesting points about how God’s grace is given to everyone. First, he uses a simile to say that a child is conceived in a “womb of a woman.” This is a very common way of saying a pregnancy occurs naturally and no artificial means are used to bring it about. Then, he says that God gives grace to everyone at a “sacred moment,” which is also something that comes naturally—it just happens accidentally.
