cording to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the Spirit, 1 Pet. iv. 6.

VER. 11.

Οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς λογίζεσθε ἑαυτοὺς νεκ ροὺς μὲν εἶναι τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ, ζῶντας δὲ τῷ Θεῷ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.

Likewise a reckon ye also yourselves to bbe dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

a For 1 reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us, Rom. viii. 18.

b God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? ver. 2.

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteous. ness, ver. 18. For ye are bought with a price therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's, 1 Cor. vi. 20. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me, Gal. ii. 19, 20. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry, Col. iii. 3—5.

d For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, ver. 23. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, v. 1. To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen, xvi. 27. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name, John xx. 31. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus, Eph. ii. 7. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus

Christ, unto the glory and praise of God, Phil. i. 11. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ, iv. 7. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ, 1 Pet. ii. 5. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever, Amen, iv. 11.

VER. 12.

Μὴ οὖν βασιλευέτω ἡ ἁμαρτία ἐν τῷ θνητῶ ὑμῶν σώματι, εἰς τὸ ὑπακούειν αὐτ Tiv Taïs iπilvμíais avroũ•

c

Let anot sin therefore reign in your bmortal body that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

a Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness, ver. 16. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord, v. 21. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringeth me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? vii. 23, 24. But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell, Numb. xxxiii. 55. And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them, Deut. vii. 2. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression, Psal. xix. 13. Order my steps in thy

word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me, cxix. 133.

b But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you, Rom. viii. 11. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory, 1 Cor. xv. 53, 54. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh, 2 Cor. iv. 11. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life, v. 4.

Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness, ver. 16. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, ii. 8. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body ye shall live, viii. 13. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof, xiii. 14. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh, Gal. v. 16. And they that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts, 24. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past, in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath even as others, Eph. ii. 3. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful Justs, iv. 22. Flee also youthful lusts but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart, 2 Tim. ii. 22. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,

A. D. 60. we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world, Tit. ii. 12. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another, ii. S. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death, Jam. i. 14, 15. From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts, iv. 1-3. As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance, 1 Pet, i. 14. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul, ii. 11. That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries, iv. 2, 3. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever, 1 John ii. 1517. These are murmurers, com plainers, walking after their own lusts: and their mouth speaking great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage, Jude 16.

turn away from you, 2 Chron. xxx. 8. Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God, Dan.iii. 28. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's, 1 Cor. vi. 20. And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God, 2 Cor. viii. 5. According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death, Phil. i. 20.

a Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death; or of obedience unto righteousness? ver. 16. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness, 19. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins which were by the law, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death, vii. 5. For I see another law in my members warring against the c Likewise reckon ye also yourlaw of my mind, and bringing me into selves to be dead indeed unto sin, captivity to the law of sin which is in but alive unto God through Jesus my members, 23.

Αμαρτία γὰρ ὑμῶν οὐ κυριεύσει· οὐ γάρ That as sin hath reigned unto death, ἐστε ὑπὸ νόμον, ἀλλ ̓ ὑπὸ χάριν.

For a sin shall not have dominion over you: bfor ye are not under the law, but c under grace.

a See on Matt. v. ver. 8, clause 1. b Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sin, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me, Rom. vii. 4-11. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed, Gal. iii. 23. But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons, iv. 4, 5. Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 21. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law, v. 18.

c What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid, ver. 15. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that

even so might grace reign through Jesus Christ our Lord, v. 21. And righteousness unto eternal life by if by grace, then, is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. xi. 6. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, John i. 17.

b Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof, ver. 12. But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you, 17. I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity: even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, 19—23.

* Gr. whereunto ye were delivered. a First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world, Rom. i. 8. At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight, Matt. xi. 25, 26.

That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life, Luke i. 74, 75.
