Answ. 1. The Apostle answers this very Objection, to anticipate such a sort of Men that were in his Days, which we meet with in these of ours: What shall we say then? shall we continue in Sin that 1Grace may abound? God forbid. He having largely, in the foregoing Chapters, proved the Doctrine I am upon, viz. That Salvation is alone by Christ, by the Free Grace of God in him, that our Justification is by the Righteousness of Christ imputed, and no other way: And that Everlasting Life is sure and certain to all the Seed, to all in Christ, or to all who do believe in him; and he shows, that where Sin abounded, Grace hath much more abounded: Particularly in the precedent Verse, he asserts, That as Sin hath 2reigned unto Death, even so might Grace reign through Righteousness unto Eternal Life, by Jesus Christ our Lord. From hence he raises this Objection, to anticipate carnal and blind Mortals, who see no further, and answers it with, God forbid; how shall we that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein?
