Where will one find what man should be but in Christ? If it is contended that it was, how is it that only Jews and Christians have arrived at this knowledge of the Divine name? the seeming disorder of God is incomparably more orderly than man's best order.

"Sanctified" in this sense is clearly before justification; and so the apostle puts it. The Son of the Father, He brings us into the knowledge of the true God as the Son knew Him in heaven, as the Son still of course knew Him on earth. And perhaps Jeremiah alluded to this passage, where (382) he mitigates the severity of the vengeance of which he had been speaking by this same expression, for there it can only be translated, With cutting off I will not cut thee off.
