with Christ. Nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.--21. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness _come_ by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Of the falsity of his story concerning the manner of his conversion,--one proof, that has been given, has been deduced from the inconsistency, of the several accounts which we have of it--all of them originally from himself--as compared with one another. Of the erroneousness of the notion of his having ever been in the eyes of the Apostles what he professed himself to be--of this, and at the same time of the want of correctness, and trustworthiness, in every account, which, by him, or from him, is to be seen rendered, of his proceedings, adventures, and dangers--proof will, on the ensuing occasions, be afforded, by evidence of this same kind: by similar instances of inconsistency, which will be all along brought to view. On the occasion of his _first_ visit to Jerusalem--to the metropolis of Christendom--will be to be noted--1. The cause and manner of his arrival. 2. The circumstances of his abode--its duration, and business. 3. The cause and circumstances of his departure. 4. The general result of this his expedition. 1. Of the cause of his visit, and manner of his arrival, we shall see two different accounts: namely, one, given by himself directly, in an epistle of his to his disciples in Galatia; the other, by a man, who afterwards became his adherent and travelling companion--namely the author of the Acts. 2. Of the duration and business of his abode, we shall see, in like manner, two different accounts, delivered respectively by those same pens. 3. So, of the cause of his departure;--from the same two sources. 4. So, of the circumstances of it. 5. Of the general result of this same expedition of his, we have no fewer than three different accounts: namely, the same two as above; with the addition of a third, as reported, in the Acts, to have been given by Paul himself, in the course of the speech he made, at the time of his fourth visit, to an assembled multitude, headed by the constituted authorities among the Jews:--when, after having been dragged by force out of the Temple, he would--had he not been saved by a commander of the Roman guard--have been torn to pieces. On this occasion, we shall find, that, by his own confession, made for a particular purpose--for the purpose of saving his life--under an exigency which allowed no time for the study of consistency, and recorded by the blindness and inconsiderateness of his biographer;--we shall find, that the account, whatever it was, which, on the occasion of this his first visit, he gave of himself to the Apostles, failed altogether in its endeavours to obtain credence.
