34 Who shall condemn? As none can prevail by accusing, when the judge hath absolved: so there remaineth no condemnation when the laws are satisfied, and now the penalty is paid. But Christ is the man, who once hath suffered the punishment due unto us, thereby professing himself to undertake our turns, that he might deliver us: he therefore that hereafter will condemn us, must call Christ himself again unto death, And he is not only dead: but by his resurrection hath appeared Victor of death, and hath triumphed over the power thereof. And he addeth yet more, namely, that he sitteth at the right hand of the father:1 whereby is meant, that he obtaineth the Lordship, and full authority of heaven and earth, as it is said to the Ephesians.
34 Who shall condemne? As none can preuayle by accusing, when the iudge hath absolued: so there remayneth no condemnation when the lawes are satisfied, and nowe the penaltie is payde. But Christ is the man, who once hath suffered the punishment due vnto vs, therby professing himselfe to vndertake our turnes, that he might deliuer vs: he therfore that hereafter wil condemne vs, must call Christ himselfe againe vnto death, And he is not only dead: but by his resurrection hath appeared Victorer of death, and hath triumphed ouer the power thereof. And he addeth yet more, namely, that hee sitteth at the right hand of the father:1 wherby is meant, that he obteyneth the Lordship, and full authority of heauen and earth, as it is said to the Ephesians.
- 1How Christ is said to fit on the right hand of the father. Ephe. 1.20.
Lastly, he teacheth that he sitteth so, that he is the perpetual advocate, and intercessor for the defence of our salvation. ⟨p. 112⟩
