I would take this opportunity of drawing attention to the difference between "Christ" and "the Christ." "The Christ" is a title, the designation of a condition or office, not a name; "Christ" is a name. These are not used indifferently, and in the Gospels, where in Greek the word occurs alone, it is almost invariably "the Christ," the Messiah, or Anointed; while in the Epistles it is rarely so, but is used as a name. Some cases are doubtful, because the structure of the Greek phrase requires or prefers the article. this is the case here. However, on the whole I believe the article should be inserted here in English. When the article is inserted in this translation, the office or condition is considered to be the prominent thought.
