{And now} (kai ta nun). Accusative plural neuter article
of general reference in contrast with men in verse  21 . Paul
shows modesty (Bengel) in the mild contrast. {No loss of life}
(apobol(8820)psuch(8873) oudemia). Old word from apoball(935c), to throw
away, only twice in N.T.  Ro 11:15  (rejection) and here. He had
foretold such loss of life as likely (verse  10 ), but he now
gives his reason for his changed view.
