For seeing that this is the mutual bond of brotherly participation, that no man be sufficient for himself apart, but that one have need of another: christ differeth from us in this, that the father hath poured out upon him the infinite abundance of his spirit. And truly the spirit must remain in him without measure, that we may all receive of his fullness, as it was said in the first chap. And to this end tendeth that which followeth immediately after, that the father hath given all things into his hand. For John doth not only in these words show forth the excellency of Christ, but also the end and use of that plenty wherewith he is endowed: namely, that being appointed as an arbitrator of his father, he may distribute unto all men as it seemeth good unto him, and is expedient for them: as Paul doth declare more at large in the 4. chap. unto the Ephesians, which I cited of late. Therefore how much soever God doth enrich his children diversly, this is proper to Christ alone, to have all things in his hand.
For seeing that this is the mutuall bonde of brotherly participation, that no man be sufficient for himselfe apart, but that one haue need of another: christ differeth from vs in this, that the father hath powred out vpon him the infinite aboundance of his spirite. And truly the spirit must remaine in him without measure, that we may all receiue of his fulnesse, as it was said in the first chap. And to this ende tendeth that which followeth immediately after, that the father hath giuen all things into his hand. For Iohn doth not onely in these woordes shew foorth the excellencie of Christe, but also the ende and vse of that plentie wherewith he is endowed: namely, that being appointed as an arbitratour of his father, he may distribute vnto all men as it seemeth good vnto him, and is expedient for them: as Paul doth declare more at large in the 4. chap. vnto the Ephesians, which I cited of late. Therfore how much soeuer God doth inrich his children diuersly, this is proper to Christ alone, to haue all thinges in his hand.
35 The father loveth the son and hath given all things into his hand. 36 He which believeth in the son hath eternal life: and he that believeth not the son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth upon him.
