Phil. 1.21. For to me to Live is Christ, and to Dye is Gain.
Saint Paul was a great Admirer of Christ, he desired to know nothing but Christ and him Crucified, 1 Cor. 2.2. No Julep to the Blood of Christ; and in the Text, To me to live is Christ, and to dye is Gain.
SAint Paul was a great Admirer of Christ, he desired to know nothing but Christ and him Crucified, 1 Cor. 2.2. No Julip to the Blood of Christ; and in the Text, To me to live is Christ, and to dye is Gain.
First. To me to live is Christ; [Greek or Hebrew]. We must understand Paul of a Spiritual Life. To me to live is Christ, i. e. Christ is my Life; so Greg. Nyssen. Or thus, my Life is made up of Christ. As a Wicked Mans Life is made up of Sin; So Paul's Life was made up of Christ; he was full of Christ. But that I may give you the Sense of the Te•• more fully, take it in these Three particulars; 1. Christ is the principle of my Life. 2. Christ is the end of my Life. 3. Christ is the Joy of my Life.
