 47 III. St Paul and Philo; a passage in i Cor., illustrated from Philo JudcBus. It does not appear to be generally known that the remarks of St Paul on the Earthy Man and the Heavenly Man, in his First Epistle to the Corinthians, are written with an express reference to the doctrines of Philo ; and that while the Apostle adopts his phraseology, he at the same time gives it a new and totally different sense. Nay more, by pointedly inverting the order of the Two Men as it stands in Philo, St Paul has left us a direct and studied refutation of the very passage to which he alludes. We will, without further preamble, cite their very words, as they proceed to comment on the same passage of Genesis (c. ii. v. 7). St Paul.
