Of Sanctification; in destroying the works of the Devil: v. 11. 12. Thus comes our merciful High Priest to be the great possessor of all Grace, that he may give out to us according to his own pleasure; quickening whom he will.

Col. 2. 19. He hath it as a Common person entrusted with it on our behalf: Rom. 5. 14, 15, 16, 17. The last Adam is made unto us a quickening spirit, 1 Cor. 15. 45.
