so that in Jesus's name every knee shall bend.<br />
Is this subjection of Christ not completed?<br />
Not at all.<br />
Because the subjection of Christ consists not in few, but in all.<br />
Christ will be subject to God in us by means of the obedience of all;<br />
when vices having been cast away, and sin reduced to submission,<br />
one spirit of all people, in one sentiment, shall with one accord begin to cleave to God,<br />
then God will be all in all,<br />
when all then shall have believed and done the will of God,<br />
Christ will be all and in all;<br />
and when Christ shall be all in all, God will be all in all.<br />
5 At present he is over all by his power,<br />
but it is necessary that he be in all by their free will:<br />
6 So the Son of man came to save that which was lost,<br />
that is, all,<br />
for, 'As in Adam all died, so, too, in Christ shall all be made alive.'<br />
"7 "For, if the guilty die, who have been unwilling to leave the path of sin,<br />
even against their will they still gain,<br />
not of nature but of fault, that they may sin no more."<br />
"Death is not bitter;<br />
but to the sinner it is bitter,<br />
and yet life is more bitter,<br />
for it is a deadlier thing to live in sin than to die in sin,<br />
because the sinner as long as he lives increases in sin,<br />
but if he dies he ceases to sin."<br />

of Constantius<br />
"Thus the mystery was completed by the Savior in order that, perfection being completed<br />
through all things, and in all things,<br />
by Christ,<br />
all universally shall be made one<br />
through Christ and in Christ."<br />
"The very abyss of torment is indeed the place of chastisement,<br />
but it is not eternal (aionion)<br />
