VERS. 3. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
IN this verse and the next the exhortation is confirmed by two motives: the one taken from the condition of the faithful in this world; the other taken from the consideration of their estate in the revelation of the glory of Christ in the last day. The first is in this verse, the latter in the next.
