Chapter III.—The true doctrine
respecting Christ.
Mindful of him, do ye by all means know that Jesus the
Lord was truly born of Mary, being made of a woman; and was as truly
crucified. For, says he, “God forbid that I should glory, save in
the cross of the Lord Jesus.”1187
And He
really suffered, and died, and rose again. For says [Paul], “If
Christ should become passible, and should be the first to rise again from
the dead.”1188

Acts xxvi. 23 (somewhat inaccurately rendered in
English version). | And again, “In that He died, He died
unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God.”1189
Otherwise, what advantage would there be in
[becoming subject to] bonds, if Christ has not died? what advantage in
patience? what advantage in [enduring] stripes? And why such facts as the
following: Peter was crucified; Paul and James were slain with the sword;
John was banished to Patmos; Stephen was stoned to death by the Jews who
killed the Lord? But, [in truth,] none of these sufferings were in vain;
for the Lord was really crucified by the ungodly.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
