The Text.
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.
But put yee on the Lord Iesus Christ.
TO put on a thing figuratively taken, is exactly and studiously to follow and to pursue a thing. So he doth on Hercules person, that expresseth and showeth forth the facts of Hercules. So to put on Christ, is to accommodate and apply our faith & works to the example of his life & doctrine, as he biddeth us to ⟨image 25⟩believe, so to believe: as he biddeth us to work, even so to work: and not to follow our own imagination. S, Paul concludeth the Chapter, with a lesson which we should avoid and eschew.
