The Doctrine of Justification by Faith

To set out the greatness of the Grace of God in our Reconciliation by Christ, he describes him by that Paraphrasis [Greek or Hebrew], who knew no sin, or who knew not sin. He knew sin in the notion or understanding of its nature; and he knew it experimentally in the effects which he underwent and suffered; but he knew it not, that is, was most remote from it, as to its commission or guilt. So that he knew no sin, is absolutely no more; but he did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth, as it is expressed 1 Pet. 2.22. Or, that he was holy harmless undefiled separate from sinners. Heb. 7.26. Howbeit, there is an Emphasis in the expression which is not to be neglected. For as it is observed by Chrysostom, as containing an auxesis ([Greek or Hebrew],) and by sundry learned persons after him. So those who desire to learn the excellency of the Grace of God herein, will have an impression of a sense of it on their minds, from this emphatical expression, which the Holy Ghost chose to make use of unto that end, and the observation of it is not to be despised.
