Mark here diligently how Paul defineth Christ.1 Christ (saith he) is the son of God and of a woman, which for us sinners was made under the law, to redeem us that were under the law. In these words he comprehendeth both the person of Christ and the office of Christ. His person consisteth of his divine and humane nature. This he showeth plainly when he saith: God sent his own son borne of a woman. Christ therefore is very God and very man. His office he setteth out in these words: Being made under the law to redeem them that were under the law &c.
