Romans8:11

11. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you ; he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies , by his Spirit that dwelleth in you .

A Periphrasis of God the Father. The Son raised himself, Iohn 2.19. and 10.18. and yet the Father is said here to raise him from the dead. vid. notes on chap. 1.4.

Raise them from a State of Mortality. & all the attendants to a glorious immortal life.

q. d. If you are sanctified by the Spirit, you shall be raised up by the Spirit also, as Christ was. The wicked also shall be raised at the last day. But the Righteous shall be raised after a peculiar manner, they shall be raised as by the Almighty Power of God; so by vertue of their Union with Christ as his members, and by vertue of their relation to the Spirit as his Temples. They only shall partake of a Resurrection, that is desirable and beneficial to them. Therefore 'tis called Emphatically the Resurrection of the Iust, Luke 14.14. and these two are joyned together, as belonging one to the other; the Children of God, and the Children of the Resurrection, Luke. 20.36.

Marginal references: Chap. 6.4, [illegible: 1 letter] 1 Cor. 6.14. 2 Cor. 4.14▪ Eph. 2.5.; Or, because of his Spirit.
