That phrase represents Paul's "ecclesia of God". It is a community of loving persons, who bear one another's burdens, who seek to build up one another in love, who "have the same thoughts in relation to one another that they have in their communion with Christ". It is all this because it is the living embodiment of Christ's own Spirit. This is a high and mystical doctrine, but a doctrine which has no meaning apart from loving fellowship in real life. A company of people who celebrate a solemn sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood, and all the time are moved by selfish passions -- rivalry, competition, mutual contempt -- is not for Paul a Church or Divine Commonwealth at all, no matter how lofty their faith or how deep their mystical experience; for all these things may "puff up"; love alone "builds up". In the very act, therefore, of attaining its liberty to exist, the Divine Commonwealth has transcended the great divisions of men. In principle, it has transcended them all, and by seriously living out that which its association means, it is on the way to comprehending the whole race. Short of that its development can never stop. This is the revealing of the sons of God for which the whole creation is waiting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faint heart ne'er won fair lady. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10481]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44983]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Works of art are all that survive of incredibly gifted people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Works of art are all that survive of incredibly gifted people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all you've had for the past three weeks is pizza, tuna fish looks pretty good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41698]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all you've had for the past three weeks is pizza, tuna fish looks pretty good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11257]]></link><description><![CDATA[To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is what we take to be true.
