Chapter twenty-seven part B

“For as many as are of the works of the law   are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed   is   every one that continueth not in   all things   which are written in the book of the law to do them.  
But that   no man is justified by the law in the sight of God,   it is   evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
And   the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.”   273  

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,   being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed   is   every one that hangeth on a tree:”   274  

“Who his own self   bare our sins in his own body   on the tree, . . . ”   275

“So Christ was once offered   to bear the sins of many; . . .”   276

“Who gave himself   a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”   277  

“But he   was   wounded for   our   transgressions,   he was   bruised for   our iniquities: the chastisement of our peacewas   upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and   the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”   278  

“Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man,   unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Saying, Blessed   are   they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.”   279

“For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more   they which receive abundance of grace   and ofthe gift of righteousness   shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) (sic)
Therefore as by the offence of one   judgment came   upon all men to condemnation; even so   by the righteousness of one   the free gift came   upon all men unto justification of life.
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so   by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.”   280

“And therefore   it was imputed to him for righteousness.   (To Abraham, see Gen. 15:6, KJV)
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
But   for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;”281  

“For he hath made him   to be   sin for us, who knew no sin;   that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”   282

“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation,   he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness,   . . .”   283  

“ . . . God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,   not imputing their trespasses unto them; . . .”   284

“But   God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”   285

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that   he loved us, and sent his Son   to be   the propitiation for our sins.” 286  

“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them,   I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Therefore   whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:”

“And every one that   heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:”   287
