Paul’s command to prove whether Christ is in us implies discernible marks of living faith
Self-examination would be pointless if living faith had no certain marks.
Christ’s indwelling yields a sense of himself clear enough for believers to read.
Latin
XI. Similiter, nisi ex signis certis & indubitatis dignoscere possemus, an Christus per fidem veram & vivam in nobis habitet, frustra jubet Paulus ut nos ipsos probaremus & excuteremus, An Christus sit in nobis, & an simus in fide. 2 Cor. 13. Unde colligitur fideles ex signis evidentibus dignoscere posse, an sint fide in Christum praediti; Christumque fidelibus inhabitantem sui sensum non obscurum illis praebere.
