Here then the Apostle proveth that we are accomplished in CHRIST, For he is made unto us1 wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, and therefore he is our whole accomplishment, what then need we to seek for any more or any other portion? And therefore David saith:2 God is my lot, my portion, and inheritance.
Heere then the Apostle proueth that wee are accomplished in CHRIST, For hee is made vnto vs1 wisedome, righteousnesse, sanctification, and redemption, and therefore hee is our whole accomplishment, what then need we to seeke for any more or any other portion? And therefore Dauid saith:2 God is my lot, my portion, and inheritance.
Now if any be asked, if they will have an inheritance, will they not have it in a fair ground? they will say, yea: Then seek it in CHRIST. This then overthroweth the going to Saints or Angels, to Peter, or the Virgin. For though it were true, that go to Peter thou shalt not leese, if to the Virgin thou shalt not leese, which yet is most safe; for they cannot help us: But though it were so, that we might have one piece in one, an other in an other, should we not rather go to CHRIST, where all our inheritance is laid together?
