This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
58. ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί. The aim of St Paul is always practical. Even this magnificent passage comes to what from a merely oratorical point of view is a somewhat tame conclusion, a conclusion however which, regarded from the point of view of Christian edification, is full of beauty. ‘Be not weary in welldoing,’ the Apostle would say. ‘Labour on in faith and courage till life comes to an end. For your life is hid with Christ in God; and therefore your efforts and struggles here are not thrown away. Not one of them shall be lost sight of before the Eternal Throne.’ We may compare the ending of the magnificent Psalms 90, which is ascribed, and as far as internal evidence goes, not without reason, to Moses.
