Footnote 18: Cp. Denney’s note on St. Paul’s description of Christ, “Him who knew no sin,” in 2 Cor. v. 21: “The Greek negative (mae), as Schmiedel remarks, implies that this is regarded as the verdict of some one else than the writer. It was Christ’s own verdict upon Himself.”

Footnote 26: “It is the Holy Spirit who supplies the bodily presence of Christ, and by Him doth He accomplish all His promises to the Church. Hence, some of the ancients call Him ‘Vicarium Christi,’ ’The Vicar of Christ,’ or Him who represents His person and dischargeth His promised work: Operam navat Christo vicariam."—Owen, Works, vol. iii. p. 193.
Footnote 27: “Our sources with the utmost possible uniformity refer to the Spirit in terms implying personality.”—Stevens, Theology of the New Testament (p. 215), where the whole question is discussed with great fullness and fairness.
Footnote 28: John Watson, The Mind of the Master, p. 321. May we remind Dr. Watson of what he has himself written on the first page of his Doctrines of Grace: “It was the mission of St. Paul to declare the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to the nations, and none of his successors in this high office has spoken with such persuasive power. Any one differs from St. Paul at his intellectual peril, and every one may imitate him with spiritual profit.”
