For the better manifestation of these principles, the Apostle proves the main point, That Christ was man, by sundry Arguments:
The first argument is a Divine testimony. This is
1 propounded, verse 6, 7, 8. 2 Applied to the person here spoken of, v 9.
The second argument is taken from the end of Christs Incarnation, which was To taste death for every man. This could he not have done if he had not been man, verse 9.
A third argument is raised from the equity and meetness of the matter: It became him, v. 10. God would bring his children to glory by suffering. It was therefore meet to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings: Which could not be unless he had been man.
