believer is the effect ot His victory over death and sin; that victory which has given Him all power in heaven and earth; which enables Him to impart of His own life to those who are in His fellowship. It is not they who live but “Christ liveth in’ them. The organic connexion between Christ and _ the Christian is the regulating idea for the Apostle. Christ is, as we have said, the Head and representative of humanity. Hence conformity to Christ (Rom. viii. 29, προώρισεν vs τῆς εἰκόνος τοῦ νἱοῦ αὐτοῦ) all along the line, both in living and dying, is a return to the divinely-purposed type, for man was made in the image of God (see loc. cit., εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πρωτότοκον ἐν πολλοῖς ἀδελ- dois). ‘In this appropriation of the death and rising of the Lord Jesus . . . there are three stages, corresponding to the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Easter- tide. Christ died for our sins: He was buried: He rose again the third day. So, by consequence, ‘I am _ crucified with Christ: no longer do I live: Christ liveth in me’”’ (Findlay, Galat. in Ex- pos. Bible, p. 159). On the whole thought of this passage, see Pfleiderer, Paulinism, i i., pp. 169, 192-207; Denney, τῷ στὰ vi., 4, Ῥ. 299 ff.
Ver. 11. εἴ πως καταντ. This con- struction closely corresponds to the Homeric usage of εἴ κε or ἤν (as in Odyss., 3, 83, πατρὸς ἐμοῦ κλέος μετέρ- χομαι, ἦν που ἀκούσω) where the pro-
tasis really contains in itself its own osis '' which consists of an implied idea of purpose" or hope (see Goodwin, MT.,p.180; Burton, MT.,§ 276; Viteau, Le Verbe, pp. 62, 116). Here the clause is almost equivalent to an indirect ques- tion, The Resurrection is the Apostle’s goal, for it will mean perfect, unbroken knowledge of Christ and fellowship with Him. Paul knows by experience the difficulty of remaining loyal to the end, of being so conformed to Christ’s death that the power of sin will not revive its mastery over him. So his apparent uncertainty here of reaching the goal is not distrust of God. It is distrust of himself. It emphasises the need he feels of watchfulness and constant striving (cf. διώκω, ver. 12), lest “ having preached to others’ he “ be found a castaway” (1 Cor. ix. 27. Vv. 24-27 of this chap., along with Rom. viii. 17, are the best parallel to the passage before us). But, on the other side, he is always reminded that “faithful is He that calleth you” (τ Thess. v. 24).---καταντήσω. Pr By aorist subjunctive (as corresponding wi καταλάβω in ver. 12).--τὴν ἐξαν. τ. vexp. Authority, both external and in- ternal, supports the reading τὴν ἐκ ο. ἐξανάστ. is found nowhere else in Ν.Τ., and never in LXX. In later Greek it means “expulsion”. It occurs only here in this sense. Holst. suggests that έξαν. is used here of the actual resurrection, because ἀνάστασις was used above of
