30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.



Ver. 30. Of his flesh, and of his bones] While he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit, 1Co_6:17. This union is neither natural, nor corporal, nor political, nor personal, but mystical and spiritual; and yet it is no less true and real than that of God the Father and God the Son, Joh_17:21-22. For as the Holy Ghost did unite in the Virgin’s womb the Divine and human natures of Christ, and made them one person; by reason whereof Christ is of our flesh and of our bones; so the Spirit unites that person of Christ, his whole person, God-man, with our persons, by reason whereof we are of his flesh and of his bones.
