Quest. Why the Apostle in delivering this truth, doth use this phrase, we which are alive, and remain unto the coming of the Lord, and not rather they which are alive? for, Did the Apostle indeed think that he himself should live to see Christ coming in glory to judg the quick and the dead?
Ans. Certainly, No; for 1. 1The event shows, that that had been a mistaken presumption in him; that day is not yet come, and the Apostle is long since fallen asleep. 2. We hear him Prophesying of his own dissolution, and that as a thing hard by, 2I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand? Gr. it is instant upon me: See, the Apostle was far from flattering himself with any such conceit of being one of them that should live and remain unto the coming of the Lord.
