Who died for us,— The Apostles lay a great stress upon this,—that Christ not onlywas incarnate, but died also to save the penitent, believing, and obedient; and therefore he has a just claim to our love and obedience. See Romans 5:6-12; Romans 14:8-9. 1 Corinthians 6:20. Whether we wake or sleep, means, Whether we live or die; "Whether we be of the number of those who depart this life before the coming of Christ; or of those who survive till that time." The Apostle refers to what he had said, ch. 1 Thessalonians 4:13, &c.
