By his obedience many are made righteous, Rom. 5.19. And that which was impossible to the law, 1in as much as it was weak because of the flesh, God sending his son in the similitude of sinful flesh, 2and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us; as it is Rom. 8.3.4. In a word, in him alone we have all our righteousness, in him we shine gloriously in the sight of God, and he is that bright shining Sun of righteousness, from whom we borrow all our light, without whose rays of holiness we should remain in the darkness of our sins and corruptions.
