Habentes autem hanc [am]ministrationem sicut misericordiam consecuti sumus. Quia per nos idonei tanto officio non eramus. Non deficimus. In omnibus tribulationibus nostris.

4.2Souter, Texts and Studies 9.2 2:250
Sed abicimus occulta dedecoris. Abicimus ab hominibus occulta uitiorum: dedecus est enim delinquere Christianum. Non ambulantes in astutia. ‘Non turpis lucri gratia ’ praedicantes. Neque adulterantes uerbum domini . Per adulationem excusando peccata, sicut illi qui [causa] laetificandi cor hominis, uerbo dei sermonem uilem admiscent et per terram repentem. Sed in manifestatione ueritatis commendantes nosmet ipsos ad omnem conscientiam hominum. Sed ita manifestum est apud [h]om[i]nes uerum esse quod dicimus, ut etiam eorum conscientia testimonium nobis perhibe[a]t qui resistunt. Coram deo . Non coram hominibus, id est, non propter ipsos eis nos commendamus.
"But we renounce the hidden things of shame." We cast away from people the hidden things of vices: for it is a disgrace for a Christian to sin. "Not walking in craftiness." Preaching "not for the sake of shameful gain." "Nor adulterating the word of the Lord." By excusing sins through flattery, like those who, to gladden the heart of man, mix with the word of God a cheap speech that creeps along the ground. "But by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience." It is so manifest among all that what we say is true that even the conscience of those who resist bears witness to us. "Before God." Not before men; that is, we do not commend ourselves to them for their own sake.

Summary: Paul preaches without gain or flattery, so that even opponents' consciences bear him witness.

4.4Souter, Texts and Studies 9.2 2:251
In quibus deus huius saeculi excaecauit sensus infidelium , ut non peruiderent lumen euangelii gloriae Christi. Deus saeculi potest ita accipi quo modo ‘princeps mundi,’ quia ipse sibi in infidelibus uindicat principatum; sed propter calumniam hereticorum ita legendum est ut dicamus deum mentes infidelium huius saeculi merito infidelitatis excaecasse, sicut ait saluator: ‘in iudicium ueni in hunc mundum, ut qui non uident uideant, et qui uident caeci fiant,’ et ipse apostolus alibi dixit: ‘quia non crediderunt ueritati, sed consenserunt iniquitati, mittet illis deus spiritum erroris;’ hoc est, dari permittet, quia credere noluerunt; quia et medicus, [si] inoboedientem aegrum deserat, [ipse] ei aegritudinem dicitur prolongasse, cum tota illius culpa sit qui audire contempsit. tamen si rursum roget et obtemperet, potest recipere sanitatem. Qui est imago [inuisibilis] dei. ‘ Imago expressa substantiae’ dei, sicut scriptum est ad Hebreos.
"In whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they should not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ." "The god of this age" can be taken as "the prince of the world," because he claims dominion for himself in unbelievers. But because of the false charge of heretics it should be read so that we say that God blinded the minds of the unbelievers of this age by the merit of their unbelief, as the Savior says: "For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind"; and the apostle himself said elsewhere: "Because they did not believe the truth but consented to iniquity, God will send them a spirit of error"; that is, he will permit it to be given, because they refused to believe. For a physician too, if he deserts a disobedient patient, is said to have prolonged his sickness, though the whole fault is that of the one who scorned to listen. Yet if he asks again and obeys, he can recover health. "Who is the image of God." "The express image of the substance" of God, as it is written to the Hebrews.

"For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord." For he who seeks his own advantage preaches not Christ but himself, like those who serve their own belly. "And ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake." Because we procure everything for your benefit, by the example of Christ, who took the form of a servant; we teach not for glory or greed.

Quoniam [deus], qui dixit de tenebris lumen splendescere. Hoc contra omnes inimicos Ueteris Testamenti, quia a patre Christi sit datum. [Qui] inluxit [in] cordibus nostris ad inluminationem scientiae claritatis dei. [In]luxit primum in cordibus nostris per Christum, ut nos alios inluminare possimus. In facie Christi Iesu. Quae claritas est in facie Christi maior quam Moysi. Siue: In persona Christi nos homines scientia [in]luminamus.
"Because he who said that light should shine out of darkness." This is against all the enemies of the Old Testament, because it was given by the Father of Christ. "Has shone in our hearts for the illumination of the knowledge of the glory of God." He shone first in our hearts through Christ, so that we may be able to illumine others. "In the face of Christ Jesus." This glory is greater in the face of Christ than in Moses'. Or: in the person of Christ we men give light by knowledge.

Habemus autem. Iam hinc incipit ostendere qua re tanta uel talia patiantur, quia de hoc quoque illis pseudo-apostoli detrahebant. Thesaurum istum in uasis fictilibus, ut excellentia uirtu[ti]s dei sit, et non ex nobis.

"But we have." Here he begins to show why they suffer such great things, because the false apostles also disparaged them over this. "This treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from us." We carry the treasure of spiritual grace in a fragile body, in which, even when we heal others, we ourselves are sometimes sick, so that what we do may be known to be not of our power but of God's.
2 Cor 4:7 (quotation, high confidence)

Semper mortificationem Iesu in corpore nostro circumferentes, ut et uita Iesu [ Christi ] in corpore nostro manifestetur. Per tribulationes, sicut alibi ait: ‘cotidie morior per uestram gloriam.’ ergo ‘si commorimur,’ inquit, ‘et conuiuemus’: illi autem qui nolunt commori, nec conuiuent. Semper enim nos qui uiuimus, in mortem tradimur . Quam diu ‘sumus in corpore.’ Propter lesum , ut et uita Iesu manifestetur in mortali carne nostra. Non propter opera mala, sed propter corpus eius, id est, ecclesiam, patimur quod passus est ille pro nobis, ut uita eius, hoc est, aeterna, manifestetur in carne nostra mortali, ut possit fieri inmortalis: ‘nondum’ enim ‘apparuit quid erimus.’
"Always carrying about in our body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body." Through tribulations, as he says elsewhere: "I die daily, by your glory." So "if we die with him," he says, "we shall also live with him"; but those who are unwilling to die with him will not live with him either. "For we who live are always being handed over to death." As long as "we are in the body." "For Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh." Not for evil works, but for his body, that is, the church, we suffer what he suffered for us, so that his life, that is, eternal life, may be manifested in our mortal flesh, so that it may become immortal: for "it has not yet appeared what we shall be."

Habentes autem eundem spiritum fidei, [ sic]ut dictum est. Increpat eos quia falsis apostolis [dicentibus] crediderunt idcirco Paulum passionibus subiacere, quia fidei sit minoris, se uero [per] fidem tribulari non posse, [e] contrario ergo ostendit se propter fidem talia sustinere, illos uero causas odii non habere per adulationem atque desidiam. unde ad Galatas ait : ‘qui uolunt in carne placere, tantum ut crucis Christi persecutionem minime patiantur.’ Credidi, propter quod locutus sum , et nos credi[di]mus, ideo quod et loquimur. Hoc testimonio credere se probat. si enim ille ideo quia credidit loquebatur — nemo enim san[a]e mentis alteri adfirmet quod ipse non credit — , ergo ‘et nos qui loquimur,’ inquit, ‘credimus, qui etiam propter ea tribulamur.’
"But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written." He rebukes them because they believed the false apostles that Paul was subject to sufferings because he was of lesser faith, but that they themselves could not be afflicted because of faith. So he shows, on the contrary, that he endures such things because of faith, and that they gave no cause for hatred because of their flattery and sloth. Hence he says to the Galatians: "Those who wish to please in the flesh, only so that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ." "I believed, therefore I spoke; we also believe, and therefore we also speak." By this testimony he proves that he believes. For if that man spoke because he believed (for no one of sound mind would affirm to another what he himself does not believe), then "we too who speak," he says, "believe, we who are also afflicted for this reason."

Propter quod non deficimus. Propter uos et [propter] gloriam dei in omnibus tribulationibus et obprobriis non cessamus. Licet enim exterior noster homo corrumpitur , sed interior renouatur de die in diem . Licet corpus passionum iniuriis corrumpatur, anima tamen spe futurorum cotidie confirmatur ad omnia sustinenda.
"Therefore we do not lose heart." For your sake and for God's glory we do not give up in all tribulations and reproaches. "For though our outer man is being corrupted, yet the inner is renewed day by day." Though the body is corrupted by the injuries of sufferings, yet the soul is strengthened daily by the hope of things to come, to endure all things.

Nam quod praesens est temporale et leue pressurae nostrae . Praesens tribulatio, quantolibet tempore perseuerans, ad conparationem inmensae aeternae[que] gloriae et breuis et facilis est, sicut ad Romanos ait: ‘existimo enim quod non sunt [con]dign[a]e passiones huius temporis ad futuram gloriam.’ Supra modum in sublimitate[m]. Quia nulla conparatio esse potest. Aeternum gloriae pondus operatur in nobis . Quia illud leue dixerat, ideo hic pondus posuit, seruans metaforae stateram. Siue: Quod tribulationum pondus, quae supra modum sunt in praesenti, in sublimitate[m] gloriae aeternae proficiat.
"For what is present, momentary and light, of our affliction." Present tribulation, however long it lasts, is brief and easy compared with immense and eternal glory, as he says to the Romans: "For I consider that the sufferings of this time are not worthy of the future glory." "Beyond measure, unto sublimity." Because there can be no comparison. "Works for us an eternal weight of glory." Because he had called the affliction "light," he put "weight" here, keeping the balance of the metaphor. Or: that the weight of tribulations, which are beyond measure in the present, may advance into the sublimity of eternal glory.

5.1Souter, Texts and Studies 9.2 2:256
Scimus autem quoniam si terrestris domus nostra huius habitationis dissoluatur, quod aedificationem ex deo habemus. Quasi aliquis [ei] dixisset: “quando istud erit, cum sciam me esse [mortalem]?” ideo gloriam resurrectionis induxit. [‘domus nostra,’ inquit,] terrenum corpus, in quo in hoc saeculo adhuc corruptibiliter habitamus, si ante aduentum domini uel passionibus uel conditione naturae fuerit dissolutum, caelestem incorruptionem ex deo corpore [re]uiuescente sumemus. Domum non manu factam , aeternam in caelis. Quia animale corpus, quod dei quodam modo manu dicitur esse plasmatum, hoc ipsum spiritale fiet per spiritum.
"For we know that if our earthly house of this dwelling is dissolved, we have a building from God." As if someone had said to him: "When will that be, since I know that I am mortal?" Therefore he brought in the glory of the resurrection. The earthly body, in which we still dwell corruptibly in this age, if it is dissolved before the Lord's coming, whether by sufferings or by the condition of nature, we will receive heavenly incorruption from God, as the body comes back to life. "A house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Because the animal body, which is said to have been fashioned in a way by the hand of God, will itself become spiritual through the Spirit.

Etenim cum sumus in corpore isto ingemescimus grauati, eo quod nolumus expoliari, sed superuestiri. Nam et qui uiui inuenientur hoc laborant, ut non expolientur ab igni cum peccatoribus, dum omnia coeperint elementa consumi, sed [ut] cum iustis [inmortalitate super]indui mereantur. Ut absorbeatur mortale hoc a uita. Quod absorbetur non apparet, cum sit sicut ferrum, si mittatur in ignem, et manente eius materia totum sit ignis : nam et splendorem et calorem [ipsius] ignis adsumit.
"For while we are in this body we groan, being burdened, because we do not wish to be stripped but to be clothed over." For those too who will be found alive labor for this: that they may not be stripped by the fire with the sinners, when all the elements begin to be consumed, but may deserve to be clothed over with the righteous. "So that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." What is swallowed up does not appear, as when iron is put into fire: its matter remains, but the whole is fire, for it takes on both the brightness and the heat of the fire.

Audemus autem et consentimus. Prorsus hoc audenter eligimus, sicut alibi ait : ‘ dissolui et cum Christo esse multo magis melius.’ Magis peregrinari de corpore . Bene ait peregrinari a corpore, quia ad id sumus iterum regressuri. Et adesse ad dominum. Quamquam creatori suo nulla creatura absens sit, nos tamen quodam modo illi tunc magis praesentes erimus, ut [et] iam perfecti, cum a carnis fuerimus fragilitate seiuncti. Siue: Quod secundum nos deo praesentes erimus, quia secundum illum absentes esse numquam possumus.
"But we are confident and consent." We choose this quite boldly, as he says elsewhere: "To depart and be with Christ is much better." "Rather to be away from the body." He says well "to be away from the body," because we will return to it again. "And to be present with the Lord." Although no creature is absent from its creator, yet we will then in a way be more present to him, as now perfect, when we are separated from the frailty of the flesh. Or: as far as we are concerned we will be present to God, because as far as he is concerned we can never be absent.

"For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of Christ." The greatness of the tribunal and the terror of the judgment are to be estimated by the greatness of the power of the one who sits on it.

Knowing how great the fear of the divine judgment is, we persuade men to be careful; but it is manifest to God whether we ourselves do not fear it. "But I hope that we are also manifest in your consciences." Although evil has been suggested to you about us, I think your conscience does not allow you to suspect anything of us other than what it knows, nor can it give more credit to others than to itself.

Siue enim mente excidimus , deo. Dicebant enim de illis: “si eorum esset memoria coram deo, numquam talia paterentur.” quidam autem aliter dicunt: siue in exstasi sumus, deo, siue nostro sensu loquimur, nobis. Siue sobrii sumus , uobis. Siue abstinentes, propter uos.
"For whether we are out of our mind, it is for God." For they said of them: "If they were remembered before God, they would never suffer such things." Some, however, say otherwise: whether we are in ecstasy, it is for God; whether we speak by our own sense, it is for us. "Whether we are sober, it is for you." Whether abstaining, it is for your sake.
2 Cor 5:13 (quotation, high confidence)

Ut [et] qui uiuunt , iam non sibi uiuant, sed ei qui pro ipsi[s] mortuus est . Ei debemus uitam nostram qui illam in omnibus sua morte seruauit. si quis ergo suam potius quam dei uoluntatem facit sibi uiuit, non illi. unde [ipse] dominus ait: ‘si quis uult post me uenire, abneget se[met] ipsum sibi,’ et cetera. Et resurrexit. Propter calumniam semper morti resurrectionem adiuncxit.
"and he died for all." He alone was found who could be offered as an unblemished sacrifice for all who were dead in sins. "So that those who live may no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them." We owe our life to him who preserved it in all by his death. So if anyone does his own will rather than God's, he lives for himself, not for him. Hence the Lord says: "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself," and the rest. "And rose." Because of false charges he always joined the resurrection to the death.

Itaque nos neminem nouimus [ex hoc] secundum carnem. Neminem nouimus carnaliter circumcisum, [omnia] et carnales caerimonias obseruantem; nullius ueterum imitamur exemplum. Et si cognouimus secundum carnem Christum , sed nunc iam non nouimus.

Aliter : Qui infirmi sunt, carnaliter credunt Christo: perfecti uero intellegunt iam post resurrectionem nihil inbecillitatis in eo esse carnalis.
"So we know no one according to the flesh." We know no one carnally circumcised and observing carnal ceremonies; we imitate the example of none of the ancients. "Even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no longer." Because they put before them the examples of the ancients, and that Christ, carnally circumcised, had celebrated everything with the Jews. But now we no longer know these things, because after his resurrection there is a new covenant. Otherwise: those who are weak believe in Christ carnally; but the perfect understand that after the resurrection there is nothing of fleshly weakness in him.

Et ponens in nobis uerbum reconciliantis
"For indeed God was in Christ," We read that God is present in three ways: by infinity, in every creature, as he himself says through the prophet: "Do I not fill heaven and earth?"; by sanctification and a special indwelling, in the saints, according to the saying: "And I will dwell in them"; and by the fullness of divinity, in Christ, as the apostle says elsewhere: "For in him dwells all the fullness of the divinity bodily." "Reconciling the world to himself, not counting their offenses against them," That is, forgiving by faith alone. "And placing in us the word of reconciliation"

Eum qui [cum] non cognouerit peccatum , pro nobis peccatum fecit. Pater pro nobis Christum, qui peccatum nesciebat, peccatum eum fecit: hoc est, sicut hostia pro peccato oblata peccatum uocabatur in lege, ut in Leuitico scriptum est: ‘et inponet manum super caput peccati sui,’ ita et Christus pro peccatis nostris oblatus peccati nomen accepit. Ut nos efficeremur iustitia dei in ipsum. Non nostra, nec [in] nobis, Adiuuantes autem simul et obsecrantes. Uerbo uos adiuuantes. Ne in uacuum gratiam dei excipiatis. In uacuum gratiam dei recipit qui in nouo testamento non nouus est, hoc est, nihil in illo proficit.
"Him who knew no sin he made sin for us." The Father made Christ, who knew no sin, sin for us: that is, as the victim offered for sin was called sin in the law, as it is written in Leviticus: "He shall lay his hand on the head of his sin," so too Christ, offered for our sins, received the name of sin. "So that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." Not ours, nor in ourselves. "But working together and beseeching." Helping you by word. "That you not receive the grace of God in vain." He receives the grace of God in vain who is not new in the new covenant, that is, makes no progress in it.

Ait enim: Tempore acceptabili exaudiui te, et in die salutis adiuui te. Acceptum tempus ad exaudiendum et in salute miserandum in hac uita praesenti e[s]t, sicut ait saluator : ‘ ambulate, dum lucem habetis, ne uos tenebrae conprehendant.’ Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile. Sicut alibi ‘ ergo dum tempus habemus’ ait ‘ operemur quod bonum est.’ dies autem ideo dicitur haec uita, quia [ad] operandum est ap[er]ta, et concluditur nocte iudicii, quae [dies] tenebrae est [peccatoribus], non lux, in qua[m] iam nemo poterit operari. aestati quoque adsimilatur hoc tempus, in cuius conparatione[m] formica dicitur hiemem sperare uenturam. Ecce nunc dies salutis. Modo solum possumus inuenire salutem, quia iuxta prophetae testimonium in inferno nemo confitebitur.
"For he says: In an acceptable time I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." The acceptable time for hearing and for showing mercy unto salvation is in this present life, as the Savior says: "Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you." "Behold, now is the acceptable time." As he says elsewhere: "So while we have time, let us do what is good." This life is called day because it is open for working, and it is closed by the night of judgment, which is darkness, not light, in which no one will be able to work any longer. This time is also likened to summer, in comparison with which the ant is said to expect the coming of winter. "Behold, now is the day of salvation." Only now can we find salvation, because according to the prophet's testimony no one will confess in hell.

The ministers of God ought to imitate God as far as possible, so that they may be known by their conduct to be worshippers of God.

Not in little, nor in moderate. "In tribulations." Every hurt is tribulation. "In necessities." Let us bear everything that is necessary as necessary. "In distresses." Distress is every want.

That is, long endurance. "In sweetness." So that we cause bitterness to no one by our words, and it may be said of us: "Their throats are sweetness," and the rest. "In the Holy Spirit." When we prepare ourselves to be worthy as his dwelling. "In love unfeigned." Let us do to others all that we want done to us, so that "we love not in word but in deed and in truth."

In uerbo ueritatis. Id est, in uerbo Christi, si apte proferatur et uere, ne fiat de ueritate mendacium. In uirtute dei per arma iustitiae. In uirtute dei siue legis contra diabolum dimicemus. A dextris et [a] sinistris. Nec prosperis eleuemur nec frangamur aduersis.
"In the word of truth." That is, in the word of Christ, if it is set forth fittingly and truly, lest a lie be made of the truth. "In the power of God, through the weapons of righteousness." Let us fight against the devil in the power of God or of the law. "On the right and on the left." Let us be neither lifted up by prosperity nor broken by adversity.

Per gloriam et ignobilitatem . Gloriam uirtutum, ignobilitatem carcerum. Per infamiam et bonam famam, ut seductores sed ueraces. Ab aliis ut ueraces laudamur, ut seductores ab aliis infamamur, sicut et ipse saluator appellatus est a Iudaeis. quae omnia aequaliter ferimus, nec extollunt nos laudantes nec deiciunt uituperantes, quia solet utraque pars aliquando mentiri. unde ad conscientiam redeuntes non debemus fidem aliis magis adcommodare quam nobis. Ut qui ignoramur et cognoscimur. Igno[ra]ti [a] perfidis et ingratis et cogniti [a] fidelibus atque iustis.
"Through glory and dishonor." The glory of powers, the dishonor of prisons. "Through ill repute and good repute, as deceivers and yet true." By some we are praised as truthful, by others defamed as deceivers, as the Savior himself was called by the Jews. All this we bear equally: those who praise do not lift us up, nor do those who blame cast us down, because both sides are sometimes apt to lie. Hence, returning to our conscience, we ought not to give credit to others more than to ourselves. "As unknown and yet known." Unknown by the faithless and ungrateful, and known by the faithful and righteous.

6.10Souter, Texts and Studies 9.2 2:265–266
Quasi tristes , semper autem gaudentes. Tristes serietate uultus, corde uero etiam in tribulatione gaudentes. Sicut egentes, multos autem locupletantes . In hoc ipso quo nobis egemus aliis abundamus, dum per nos elimosinae fiunt. Siue: Terrenis egentes, alios bonis caelestibus facimus locupletes. simul adtendendum quod omnia quasi pati se dicit, non tamen pati, ut ostendat ista esse quasi imagines passionum ad conparationem praemii sempiterni. Quasi nihil habentes et omnia possidentes. Sicut ait Solomon: ‘eius qui fidelis est totus mundus diuitiarum ’ : nam, excepto quod omnia nostri dei sunt, nemo plus habet quam qui nullius indiget: ille uero nullius eget qui praeter necessaria nil requirit. Os nostrum patet ad uos, o Corinthii , cor nostrum dilatatum est . Ita sumus uestro profectu [pro]uocati, ut tacere penitus non possimus: profectus enim discipuli prouocat os magistri, et cor dilatat atque amplificat, id est, facit sensibus abundare, sicut de Salomone scriptum est quia ‘dedit’ illi deus ‘latitudinem cordis, sicut arena[m] maris.’
"As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing." Sorrowful in the seriousness of the face, but rejoicing in heart even in tribulation. "As poor, yet making many rich." In the very thing in which we are in need ourselves, we abound for others, as alms are given through us. Or: lacking earthly things, we make others rich with heavenly goods. At the same time it is to be noted that he says he suffers all things "as it were," not that he suffers them, to show that these are images, as it were, of sufferings, compared with the eternal reward. "As having nothing and possessing all things." As Solomon says: "The whole world of riches belongs to the faithful man"; for, apart from the fact that all things are our God's, no one has more than he who needs nothing; and he needs nothing who seeks nothing beyond necessities. "Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians; our heart is enlarged." We are so provoked by your progress that we cannot keep silent at all: for the progress of the disciple provokes the master's mouth, and enlarges and widens his heart, that is, makes it abound in understanding, as it is written of Solomon that God "gave him breadth of heart like the sand of the sea."

"And do not draw the yoke with unbelievers." Do not be joined or made equal to them, because only equals draw a yoke together; that is, do not be joined to the false apostles, or to those who reclined at table in an idol's temple. "For what participation has righteousness with iniquity, or what fellowship has light with darkness?" None, as light has none with darkness. At the same time he shows that no one can be just and unjust alike, setting out very contrary examples.

Qui[s] autem consensus templo dei cum idolis? uos enim estis templum dei uiui . Idola ipsos homines dicit qui idola colunt, quia templa sunt daemonum, sicut [et] isti templum [sunt] dei. Sicut dicit deus: Quoniam inhabitabo in illis . Cum ubique sit deus, tamen in illis proprie habitare se dicit, qui eius gratia [se] perfruuntur et qui mundum ei praeparant sui cordis hospitium. Et in[tra eos ] ambulabo. Omnes eorum sensus optineam uel percurram. Et ero illorum deus .

"And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God." He calls idols the very men who worship idols, because they are temples of demons, as these are the temple of God. "As God says: For I will dwell in them." Though God is everywhere, yet he says that he properly dwells in those who enjoy his grace and prepare for him a clean lodging in their heart. "And I will walk among them." I will occupy or pass through all their senses. "And I will be their God." For God is God of all by nature, of few by will: for "he is not the God of the dead but of the living." "And they shall be my people," Those who are servants by will, not by nature only.
