17. I believe, then that the righteousness that saveth the sinner from the wrath to come, is properly and personally Christs, and ours but as we have union with him; God by grace imputing it to us. Yea doubtless, and I count all things loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung that I may win Christ' and be found in him, not having my own ⟨p. 12⟩righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. For of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. For he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Phil. 3, 8, 9. 1 Cor. 1.30. 2 Cor. 5.20, 21.
