If (3) ye have tasted (he says) of the heavenly gift, that is, of for- giveness. And been made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and tasted the good word of God (he is speaking here of the doctrine) and the powers of the world to come (what powers is he speaking of ? either the working of miracles, or the 2 Cor.
