this_o second_o verse_n may_v be_v add_v to_o illustrate_v the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o first_o verse_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o the_o man_n who_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o it_o may_v be_v set_v down_o to_o prevent_v a_o objection_n against_o that_o truth_n that_o the_o man_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v free_a of_o condemnation_n for_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o man_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n have_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o since_o he_o have_v the_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n in_o he_o how_o can_v he_o be_v free_a from_o

from_o the_o gild_n of_o corruption_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n presence_n as_o a_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o godâ—s_n own_o time_n he_o will_v be_v free_v from_o the_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v we_o may_v soon_o see_v that_o our_o discern_v of_o the_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n in_o we_o inevitable_o bring_v we_o under_o many_o fear_n of_o condemnation_n the_o fight_n of_o indwelling_a sin_n more_o forcible_o put_v we_o under_o a_o fear_n of_o condemnation_n than_o the_o feel_n of_o all_o our_o numerous_a misery_n can_v do_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a for_o a_o believer_n to_o strengthen_v his_o hope_n of_o the_o total_a abolition_n of_o sin_n in_o he_o and_o this_o may_v be_v do_v one_a by_o consider_v our_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o christ_n exaltation_n to_o glory_n which_o necessary_o say_v that_o all_o the_o member_n must_v have_v a_o sinless_a conformity_n with_o the_o head_n 2_o this_o hope_n may_v be_v strengthen_v

the_o freedom_n of_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v very_o consistent_a with_o the_o sense_n of_o indwelling_a sin_n observe_v 3_o paul_n use_v many_o mean_n for_o mortification_n he_o watch_v he_o pray_v he_o keep_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o temptation_n yet_o he_o ascribe_v not_o his_o freedom_n from_o corruption_n to_o the_o use_n of_o these_o mean_n but_o to_o the_o principal_a

to_o draw_v those_o that_o live_v under_o it_o into_o obedience_n so_o the_o gracious_a spirit_n of_o god_n where_o he_o have_v a_o indwelling_n have_v a_o strong_a efficacy_n to_o bring_v the_o
