For your sakes.
1Why doth not the Apostle say for our sakes, and so take himself in the number▪ 2He applies it to serve the Argument in hand, being to stir up the Corinthians to bounty, he tells them Christ was poor for their sakes, that they might be assured of their salvation by Christ ▪ that his example might be more effectual: the example of those whom we have interest in is effectual, therefore he saith, for your sakes he became poor. This should teach us when we speak of Christ to labour for a spirit of application, to appropriate Christ unto our selves, or else his example will not move ⟨p. 17⟩us; as without application we can have no good by him, so we can have no comfort by his example, it is not prevalent, unless we can say as the Apostle to the Corinthians here, for your sakes.
