Galatians 2:20-21 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me… This is a striking" point of. union,, between Paul and John; the Pauline form of "He that hath the Son hath life." (W. B. Pope, D. D.)As the mistletoe, having no root of its own, both grows and lives in the stock of the oak, so the apostle, having no root of his own, did live and grow in Christ. As if he had said, "I live, I keep a noble house, am given to hospitality, but at another's cost, not at mine own. I am beholden to Christ. I have not a farthing of mine own. He carrieth the pack for me, and gives out to me according to my necessities." (Surinnock.) Parallel Verses KJV: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. |
