12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
Ver. 12. Death worketh in us ] It hath already seized upon us, but yet we are not killed with death, as those were, Revelation 2:23 . As a godly man said, that he did aegrotare vitaliter; to be mortally ill so as to give life, so the saints do mori vitaliter, die to live for ever.
But life in you.] q.d. You have the happiness to be exempted, while we are tantum non interempti, yet not killed, little less than done to death.
