that forsomuch as the faithful, are at this present contemned, and naught set by: and that some laugh them to scorn, and other some oppress them: so that their flesh is eaten to the bones, and trodden clean under foot, therefore the Apostle calleth us back unto the latter day, saying, That we shall at that time appear wonderful, even like unto the Son of God him self: for which cause, let not us fear, but that the glory which he will give us shall so terrify our enemies, as that they shall be made our footstool, according to that saying of the scripture. Howbeit, Saint Paul, here namely setteth down, who they are that must look to be partakers of the glory of the Son of God:1 and he declareth the fruits of all those that have believed, in these words, Saints. For he showeth that they which are carried away with the pollutions & corruptions of this world, must not look to have any part or portion in this inheritance, nor yet be partakers of any thing which belongeth unto the Son of God.
