190 ROMANS 8: 12—28.

← Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans

9. The great distinction of a true Christian is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Hence his dignity, holiness, and happiness, vs. 9—11.

10. If the Spirit of God dwells in the Christian, how careful should he be lest any thing in his thoughts or feelings should be offensive to this divine guest !

11. Christians are bound to reverence their bodies and preserve them from all defilement, because they are the members of Christ, and the temples of the Holy Ghost, v. 11.
