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[Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one's really happy anyway, it's not human. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30244]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one's really happy anyway, it's not human.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can believe anything provided it is incredible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4050]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can believe anything provided it is incredible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Physical infidelity is the signal, the notice given, that all fidelities are undermined. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Physical infidelity is the signal, the notice given, that all fidelities are undermined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a pretty flimflam. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48518]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a pretty flimflam.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope springs exulting on triumphant wing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19766]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope springs exulting on triumphant wing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Return of the Bunny Suicides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37329]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Return of the Bunny Suicides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She waits for me, my lady Earth, Smiles and waits and sighs;  I'll say her nay, and hide away, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52932]]></link><description><![CDATA[She waits for me, my lady Earth, Smiles and waits and sighs;  I'll say her nay, and hide away,   Then take her by surprise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.  [Lat., Prisca ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.  [Lat., Prisca juvent alios; ego me nunc denique natum Gratulor.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4708]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Reader!
