For she, as it were, repeats that by adding, \"He\r\nbringeth down to hell, and bringeth up.\" To whom truly the\r\napostle says, \"If ye be dead with Christ, seek those things\r\nwhich are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of\r\nGod.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_361_361\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_361_361\">[361]</a> Therefore they are killed by the Lord in a salutary\r\nway, so that he adds, \"Savour things which are above, not\r\nthings on the earth;\" so that these are they who, hungering,\r\nhave passed beyond the earth. \"For ye are dead,\" he says:\r\nbehold how God savingly kills! Then there follows, \"And\r\nyour life is hid with Christ in God:\" behold how God makes\r\nthe same alive! But does He bring them down to hell and bring\r\nthem up again? It is without controversy among believers\r\nthat we best see both parts of this work fulfilled in Him, to\r\nwit, our Head, with whom the apostle has said our life is hid\r\nin God. \"For when He spared not His own Son, but delivered\r\nHim up for us all,\"<a id=\"FNanchor_362_362\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_362_362\">[362]</a> in that way, certainly, He has killed\r\nHim.
