Verse. 7. Thorough Christ.
Verse. 7. Thorough Christe.
Paul hath Christ always in his mouth, he can not forget him.1 For he did well foresee that nothing should be less known in the world (yea among them which should profess themselves to be Christians) then Christ and his Gospel. Therefore he talketh of him and setteth him before our eyes continually. And as often as he speaketh of grace, righteousness, the promise, adoption & inheritance, he is always wont to add: In Christ, or, thorough Christ, covertly impugning the law. As if he would say: These things come unto us, neither by the law, nor by the works thereof: much less by our own strength, or by the works of mens traditions: but only by Christ.
