Thus is a true believer perfectly dead to the guilt of sin, by the death of Christ for his ⟨p. 89⟩sin, But to the power, dominion, and being of sin, no child of Adam is totally dead in this life, no not the best of the children of God, but dying daily; therefore (saith the Apostle,) I die daily, &c. If any man thinks himself freed from sin, or perfectly dead to sin in this sense, He deceives himself, and the truth is not in him, 1 Joh. 1.8.
Thus is a true believer perfectly dead to the guilt of sinne, by the death of Christ for his ⟨p. 89⟩sinne, But to the power, dominion, and being of sinne, no child of Adam is totally dead in this life, no not the best of the children of God, but dying daily; therefore (saith the Apostle,) I die daily, &c. If any man thinks himself freed from sinne, or perfectly dead to sinne in this sence, He deceives himself, and the truth is not in him, 1 Joh. 1.8.
For totally dead to sin, in this sense, was never any son of man, in this life, but he that was the Son of God (to wit) Jesus Christ.
For totally dead to sinne, in this sence, was never any sonne of man, in this life, but he that was the Sonne of God (to wit) Jesus Christ.
Totally dead to the power, and being of sin is not he, that is totally dead to the guilt of sin, until this earthly house be quite pulled down, and death that last debt, and wages of sin to the godly paid, then, and never till then, is he, in whom Christ lives, totally freed from the power and being of sin.
