1 It is God who giveth the reward. Buta is it any thing to the Almighty that thou art righteous? or is it profitable to him that thou makest thy ways upright? bif thou be righteous, what givest thou to him, or what receiveth he at thine hands? If God receive• nothing by our righteousness, what is the bond whereby he is indebted and obliged to us?3 Mark the answer of the Lord himself, Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Whatsoever the Lord giveth, upon mere mercy and favour he giveth, and in rewarding our righteousness, he rewardeth his own work.
