the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n have_v make_v i_o free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n vers_fw-la 2._o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n have_v subdue_v the_o power_n of_o sin_n and_o then_o he_o confirm_v their_o justification_n from_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n with_o which_o his_o active_a obedience_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o conjunction_n what_o the_o law_n can_v not_o do_v in_o that_o it_o be_v weak_a through_o the_o flesh_n god_n send_v his_o own_o son_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o sinful_a flesh_n and_o for_o sin_n condemn_v sin_n in_o

from_o these_o suffering_n of_o christ_n with_o which_o his_o active_a obedience_n must_v be_v take_v in_o conjunction_n the_o apostle_n infer_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o vers_fw-la 4._o the_o law_n be_v not_o able_a to_o justify_v we_o for_o want_v of_o a_o perfect_a obedience_n in_o we_o but_o god_n translate_v the_o impletion_n of_o the_o law_n

that_o those_o who_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o impute_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v also_o sanctify_v and_o lead_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o

but_o after_o the_o spirit_n in_o these_o place_n the_o apostle_n touch_v three_o thing_n which_o must_v go_v together_o in_o our_o justification_n upon_o god_n part_n his_o great_a mercy_n and_o grace_n upon_o christ_n part_n justice_n that_o be_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o god_n justice_n or_o the_o price_n of_o our_o redemption_n by_o the_o offering_n of_o his_o body_n and_o shed_v of_o his_o blood_n with_o fulfil_v of_o the_o law_n perfect_o and_o thorough_o and_o upon_o our_o part_n true_a and_o lively_a faith_n in_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o yet_o be_v not_o we_o
