CHAP. 5. The fruit of the Resurrection of Christ.
CHAP. 5. The frute of the Resurrection of Christe.
Now I will declare the occasion, why I have with ⟨p. 24⟩such diligence, and so earnestly pressed unto this, that Jesus christ with his true body did truly rise again. That is, how profitable & necessary it is, so to believe, and what fruit the true resurrection of Christ doth bring & engender unto us. And albeit that hereof, as of a plentiful treasure, much might be spoken: yet will I comprehend it all in a short sum. Though we be complete & made perfect through the death of Christ, while the just judgement of god is satisfied, the curse taken away, & the penalty recompensed and paid: Yet saith Peter, we are borne again, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, unto ⟨p. 25⟩a living hope. For like a christ with his resurrection overcame death, so standeth also the triumph & victory of our faith in the resurrection of Christ. Therefore through his death is sin taken away, by his resurrection is righteousness brought again. For how could he with his death, have delivered us from death, if he himself had of death ben overcome? Or how could he have obtained the victory for us, if he had been destroyed in the battle himself? Therefore through death is death discomfited, and with the resurrection is life to us restored.
