Paul here disputing of righteousness, hath no civill matter in hand, that is, he speaketh not of civill righteousness: which God notwithstanding alloweth and requireth,1 and giveth certain rewards thereunto accordingly: which also reason is able in some part to perform. But he entreateth here of the righteousness that availeth before God, whereby we are delivered from the law, sin, death, and all evils, and are made partakers of grace righteousness, and everlasting life, and ⟨image 94⟩finally are now become Lords of heaven and earth and all other creatures.2 This righteousness neither mans law, neither the law of God is able to perform.
