Verse 30
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Ver. 30. But of him are ye ] q.d. Albeit ye have nothing of your own, yet in Christ you have all; for in him is all fulness both repletive and diffusive, both of abundance and of redundance too, both of plenty and of bounty.
Is made unto us wisdom ] This notes out Christ’s prophetic office.
Righteousness and sanctification ] By his priestly office.
Redemption ] By his kingly office, having fully delivered his from sin, death, and hell; all which is not fully done till after death. And that is the reason why redemption is here set last. See Romans 8:23 ; Luke 21:28 .
