Chapter I.—Thanks to God for your
faith.
I Glorify
God, even Jesus Christ, who has given you such wisdom. For I have observed
that ye are perfected in an immoveable faith, as if ye were nailed to the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, both in the flesh and in the spirit, and
are established in love through the blood of Christ, being fully
persuaded with respect to our Lord, that He was truly of the seed of
David according to the flesh,975
and the Son
of God according to the will and power976
| 976 Theodoret, in quoting this passage, reads, “the
Godhead and power.” | of God; that He was truly born of a
virgin, was baptized by John, in order that all righteousness might be
fulfilled977
by Him; and was truly,
under Pontius Pilate and Herod the tetrarch, nailed [to the cross] for us
in His flesh. Of this fruit978
we are by His divinely-blessed
passion, that He might set up a standard979
for all ages, through His resurrection, to
all His holy and faithful [followers], whether among Jews or Gentiles, in
the one body of His Church.
I Glorify
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who by Him has given you
such wisdom. For
I have observed that ye are perfected in an immoveable faith, as if ye
were nailed to the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, both in the flesh and
in the spirit, and are established in love through the blood of Christ,
being fully persuaded, in very truth, with respect to our Lord Jesus
Christ, that He was the Son of God, “the first-born of every
creature,”980
God the Word, the
only-begotten Son, and was of the seed of David according to the
flesh,981
by the Virgin Mary; was baptized by John, that
all righteousness might be fulfilled982
by Him;
that He lived a life of holiness without sin, and was truly, under
Pontius Pilate and Herod the tetrarch, nailed [to the cross] for us in
His flesh. From whom we also derive our being,983
from His divinely-blessed passion, that He might set up a
standard for the ages, through His resurrection, to all His holy and
faithful [followers], whether among Jews or Gentiles, in the one body of
His Church.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
