But if even that unreserved declaration of the apostle do not sufficiently inform us what is meant by enemies being placed under His feet, listen to what he says in the following words, For all things must be put under Him. What, then, is this putting under by which all things must be made subject to Christ? I am of opinion that it is this very subjection by which we also wish to be subject to Him, by which the apostles also were subject, and all the saints who have been followers of Christ. For the name subjection, by which we are subject to Christ, indicates that the salvation which proceeds from Him belongs to His subjects, agreeably to the declaration of David, Shall not my soul be subject unto God? From Him comes my salvation. (Book I, Chapter 6, Part 1)

I subject myself. I am the object of close consideration.

Man has always been his own most vexing problem.(Niebuhr)

I have never seen a greater monster or miracle than myself. (Montaigne)

I have been placed under careful examination.

Despite every contrary cause, Christ has found me lovable.
