Paul (no doubt) being among the Galatians, had before more largely entreated of this matter: for else they could not have understand it, seeing he doth here but touch it by the way. But because they had heard him declare the same unto them before, they being now again put in mind thereof, do call it to remembrance. And these two sentences are not repugnant, but do very well agree. We also do teach in like manner: That the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Rom. 2. 1And contrariwise: They that are of the works of the law, are under the Curse. For the article of justification teacheth, that whatsoever is without the faith of Abraham, is accursed.2 And yet notwithstanding the righteousness of the law must be fulfilled in us. Rom. 8. To a man that is ignorant of the doctrine of Faith, these two sentences seem to be quite contrary.
Paule (no dout) being among the Galathians, had before more largely entreated of this matter: for else they could not haue vnderstand it, seeing he doth here but touche it by the way. But because they had heard him declare the same vnto them before, they being now againe put in minde thereof, doe call it to remembraunce. And these two sentences are not repugnant, but doe very well agree. We also doe teach in like maner: That the hearers of the lavve are not righteous before God, but the doers of the lavve shall be iustified. Rom. 2. 1And contrariwise: They that are of the vvorkes of the lavv, are vnder the Curse. For the article of iustification teacheth, that whatsoeuer is without the faith of Abraham, is accursed.2 And yet notwithstanding the righteousnes of the lawe must be fulfilled in vs. Rom. 8. To a man that is ignoraunt of the doctrine of Faith, these two sentences seeme to be quite contrary.
