Bible Passage

1 Corinthians 15:31

“I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.”

Commentary

St. Antony the Great

“'Wherefore, children, let us hold fast our discipline, and let us not be careless. For if in our discipline, the Lord is our fellow-worker, as it is written, "to all that choose the good, God works with them for good. But to avoid being heedless, it is good to consider the word of the Apostle, "I die daily" For if we too live as though dying daily, we shall not sin. And the meaning of that saying is, that as we rise day by day we should think that we shall not live till evening; and again, when about to lie down to sleep, we should think that we shall not wake up.”
