§. Sect. 4 1The parts of our justification are two, the remission of our sins, and the imputation of Christs righteousness, for as in every natural man there is the corruption, guilt, and punishment of sin, and the absence or privation of holiness and righteousness, so in Christ we have a remedy for both: for the first by his passion and suffering: for the other by his actual obedience and perfect fulfilling of the law. And this is manifest Rom. 4.6.7. where the Apostle distinctly maketh mention,2 of the righteousness of Jesus Christ imputed without works, and of the forgiveness, covering and not imputing of sin.3 Neither was it sufficient for the obtaining of everlasting life and happiness, that our mediator should by his death make full satisfaction for our sins, both of commission and also omission, but also that he should cloth us with his active obedience, whereby we might appear perfectly righteous before God.
