1Not that the conscience doth not at all feel the terrors of the law (For in deed it feeleth them): but that they can not condemn it nor bring it to desperation. For there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. Rom. 8. Also: If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free in deed. John. 8. Howsoever then a Christian man be terrified through the law, showing unto him his sin, notwithstanding he therefore despaireth not: For he believeth in Jesus Christ and being baptised in him and cleansed by his blood, he hath remission of all his sins. Now, when our sin is pardoned through Christ, who is the Lord of the law (and yet so pardoned that he gave himself for it) the law being a servant hath no more power to accuse and condemn us for sin,2 seeing it is forgiven us and we are now made free forasmuch as the Son hath delivered us from bondage: Wherefore the law is wholly abolished to them that believe in Christ.
1Not that the conscience doth not at all feele the terrours of the law (For in deede it feeleth them): but that they can not condemne it nor bring it to desperation. For there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus. Rom. 8. Also: If the sonne shall make you free, ye shall be free in deede. Iohn. 8. Howsoeuer then a Christian man be terrified through the lawe, shewing vnto him his sinne, notwithstanding he therefore despaireth not: For he beleueth in Iesus Christ and being baptised in him and clensed by his bloud, he hath remission of all his sinnes. Now, when our sinne is pardoned through Christe, who is the Lord of the lawe (and yet so pardoned that he gaue himselfe for it) the law being a seruaunt hath no more power to accuse and condemne vs for sinne,2 seeing it is forgeuen vs and we are now made free forasmuch as the sonne hath deliuered vs from bondage: Wherfore the law is wholy abolished to them that beleue in Christe.
