3. How he saveth.
3. How hee saveth.
1HE saveth us after two sorts; by his merit, and by his efficacy. 1. He saveth us by his merit or satisfaction; because by his obedience, passion, death, and intercession, he hath merited for us remission of sin, reconciliation with God, the holy Ghost, salvation, and life everlasting. Testimonies hereof are these; If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, 2Jesus Christ the just. And he is the reconciliation for our sins and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world: that is, for the sins of all sorts of men, of what soever age, place, or degree. The blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God purgeth us from all sin. 3Whom God hath set forth to be are conciliation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness by the forgiveness of sins. By the obedience of one, many shall be made righteous. He was wounded for our transgressions, 4he was broken for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way, and the Lord hath laid upon us the iniquity of us all. 5He hath made him to be sin for us, which knew no sin, that we should be made the righteousness of God in him. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, when he was made a curse for us, that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,
