receive evil, ami wisli none to him from whose liands we have it. To reserve love for him that shews wrath and hatred to us, is a gloriovis, but a difficult work. If the devil cannot leaven the saint with wrath against his persecutor, then lie will try to blow him up with a high conceit of himself, who dares sufFor for Christj while others shrink from it, and seek to keep themselves safe within their own shell. O, this pride is a salamander, that can live in the fire of suffering ! If any one saint needs the Inunility of many saints, it is he that is called to suffer : to glory in his suflerings for Christ becomes him well, 2 Cor. xii. 9 ; Gal. vi. 14 ; but to glory in himself for them, is hateful : he needs a quick eye and steady hand, that has to drive his chariot on the brow of so dan- gerous a precipice.

In a word, — As a suffering condition is full of temptations, so the saint's strength to carry him safely through is not in his own keeping. (lod must help, or the stoutest champion's spirit will soon fail : ' In all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need,' Phil. iv. 12. This was a hard lesson indeed to learn : who was his master? See ver. 13, ' I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.' Now, as the saints' strength to suffer is not in themselves, but in Christ; so prayer is the best means to fetch it in for their help ; for by it they confess their own weakness, and so God is secured from having a rival in the praise ; which Paul is here free to do, and more than that, for as he confesseth he can do nothing without Christ's strength to enable him, so he dares not rely on his own prayers for obtaining it, but calls in the auxiliary forces of his fellow-saints to besiege heaven for him ; that while he is in the valley, suffering for the gospel, they may be lifting up their hands and hearts in the mount of prayer for him.
