"Not I, but the Christ in me" is a word of Saint Paul often quoted by Rudolf Steiner. In the original Greek it reads:

{{Quote|ζῶ δὲ, οὐκέτι ἐγώ, ζῇ δὲ ἐν ἐμοὶ Χριστός
zô dè, oùketi égó, zē dè én émoi Christós.

Translated approximately literally, it means more precisely: "I live, yet no longer the ego, but Christ lives in me." This means no more and no less than that the Christ Himself - in a fully individualised way - lives as the real I, as in man:

„No external name can name "me", this Being; a completely different name only can express this: "I am the I-am!" There is no possibility of finding the name of the Sun-Spirit elsewhere than in the human being. That which lives as I in man is the Christ-being.“ (Lit.:GA 109, p. 154)
