Take the words absolutely, and they include first, the character of a Christian while he liveth, To me to live is Christ; and secondly, the comfort of a Christian when he dyeth, and to die is gain. Or you may take notice of the piety of a Saint in life; To me to live is Christ; and his profit by death, to dye is gain.
For the meaning of the words.
To me, To me who am the mark at which hell and the world shoot their arrows of persecution;1 To me whose life hath been a ring of miseries ever since my conversion; To me who am set to undergo both mens and devils opposition: yet to me there are spiritual and inward consolations. For to me to live is Christ.
