tYe are of God, and have overcome them: whom? all the adversaries of your faith and manners. How? Because greater is he that is in you, that is Jesus, Christ by his divine power: than he that is in the world, that is, the malignant spirit of temptation.u Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death; a place full of horror and amazedness; yet will I not fear: why so? because thou O Lord art with me; thy rod and thy staff do comfort me. Lastly, let this hearten us to cheerful liberality; because whatsoever we lack or lose, there is a divine power able to requite, ⟨p. 49⟩it. Thus Paul encourageth the Corinthians bounty; becausex God is able to make all grace abound toward them, that they having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.
