This is of two sorts, either that which is done unto God, or that which is done unto men. We are never able to satisfy, & make amends unto God.

Our only and full satisfaction for our trespasses done against him, is the blood of our saviour Jesus Christ.

Paul was thrown down a persecutor, and raised up a preacher. What amends might he make in so short time?
