Who are in Christ Jesus
First, I am to show who those are that are in Christ Jesus. Are they not those who believe in his name? Those who are found in him, not having their own righteousness, but the righteousness which is of God by faith?
These, who have redemption through his blood, are properly said to be in him. For they dwell in Christ, and Christ in them. They are joined to the Lord in one Spirit. They are grafted into him as branches into the vine. They are united, as members to their head, in a manner which words cannot express, nor could it before enter into their hearts to conceive.

I. 1. First, I am to shew, who those are that are in Christ Jesus. And are they not, those who believe in his name? Those who are found in him, not having their own righteousness, but the righteousness which is of God by faith? These, who have redemption through his blood, are properly said, to be in him. For they dwell in Christ and Christ in them. They are joined unto the Lord in one Spirit. They are ingrafted into him as branches into the vine. They are united, as members to their head; in a manner which words cannot express, nor could it before enter into their hearts to conceive.
