“The example of Christ is living legislation- law embodied and pictured in a perfect humanity.
Not only does it exhibit every virtue, but it also enjoins it.
In showing what is, it enacts what ought to be.
When it tells us how to live, it commands us so to live.”
–John Eadie, A Commentary on the Greek Text of the Epistle of Paul to the Philippians (ed. W. Young; Second Edition.; Edinburgh: T&T Clark, 1884), 94-95. Eadie is commenting on Philippians 2:5.
