This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Because ye are Christ’s (hoti Christou este). Predicate genitive, belong to Christ. See Rom 8:9; 1Co 1:12; 2Co 10:7. That is the bond of universal brotherhood of the redeemed. It breaks over the lines of nation, race, class, sex, everything. No service is too small, even a cup of cold water, if done for Christ’s sake. See note on Mat 18:6. for discussion on stumbling-blocks for these little ones that believe on Jesus (Mar 9:42), a loving term of all believers, not just children.
