For, says he, \u201cGod forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of the Lord Jesus.\u201d 1187 And He really suffered, and died, and rose again. For says [Paul], \u201cIf Christ should become passible, and should be the first to rise again from the dead.\u201d 1188 And again, \u201cIn that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God.\u201d 1189 Otherwise, what advantage would there be in [becoming subject to] bonds, if Christ has not died? what advantage in patience? what advantage in [enduring] stripes? And why such facts as the following: Peter was crucified; Paul and James were slain with the sword; John was banished to Patmos; Stephen was stoned to death by the Jews who killed the Lord? But, [in truth,] none of these sufferings were in vain; for the Lord was really crucified by the ungodly.\nActs xxvi. 23 (somewhat inaccurately rendered in English version).\n107:1189","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol I: IGNATIUS: Chapter III.\u2014The true doctrine...","type":"page"}
