Lux Domini
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Interpretation

Christ died for sinners; not only such as were useless, but such as were guilty and hateful; such that their everlasting destruction would be to the glory of God's justice. Christ died to save us, not in our sins, but from our sins; and we were yet sinners when he died for us.
