Philippians 3:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Being found in whom, after justification and sanctification, he doubts not to be glorified, (by a figure of a part, resurrection of the body, for the whole), though he expresseth himself as one that must pass through difficulties ere he attain not only to a spiritual resurrection from sin, but a glorious one of the body from the grave, even such a one as will be an elevation or ascension of the body united to the soul, not only exempted from the grave, but exalted into the air, to be for ever with the Lord, 1 Thessalonians 4:14,17; from whom he was assured no death should separate him, Romans 8:38,39 2 Timothy 4:8; who lived by faith in expectation of the time and the manner of it, 1 Corinthians 15:14,19,30,32 1 Peter 1:6,7, that he should be then completely holy in his measure as Christ himself is.
