It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 2:11 Go To 2 Timothy 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
So also you are yourself made king and priest and prophet in the washing of baptism. You are a king by having dashed to earth all the deeds of wickedness and slain your sins. You are a priest in that you offer yourself to God, having sacrificed your body and being yourself slain also, “for if we died with him,” says he, “we shall also live with him.” You are a prophet, knowing what shall be, being inspired of God and sealed.
