2 Corinthians 13:14

Verse 14

14. The benediction, flowing in sacred beauty from the mind of St. Paul. Like the baptismal sentence of our Lord, it implanted the impress of the Holy Trinity on the mind of the early Church. It proceeds in the order of Christian life. First, grace from Christ, bringing justification; second, love from God as to an adopted child; then the witness and the abiding impartation of the Spirit. Such is the blessed climax of our gospel inheritance.

All No exclusion, no decreed reprobation. A universal atonement, a universal love, a universal sanctification, a conditional universal salvation, breathe forth from the universal gospel.
