3. Though sin be yet it shall never condemn ⟨p. 26⟩them, Rom. 8. 1. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus: he complains of the presence and oppression of it, Cap. 7. but is here comforted against the condemning efficacy of it: he is freed from the dominion of that slavish Spirit, or spirit of bondage, and needs not to go up and down in fear of suffering the eternal weight of Gods wrath.
3. From the World, 1 Joh. 5. 4. Whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the World: they are delivered and kept from being drawn away with those snares, baits, and temptations, and terrified with those threatenings which the World sets before them: hence they have such liberty of spirit granted them, that they can both trample in disdain upon the large proffers of the World to seduce them by from their profession; and undauntedly hold up their hands, against all the menaces that are made against them.
3. From the World, 1 Joh. 5. 4. Whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the World: they are delivered and kept from being drawn away with those snares, baits, and temptations, and terified with those threatnings which the World sets before them: hence they have such liberty of spirit granted them, that they can both trample in disdain upon the large proffers of the World to seduce them by from their profession; and undauntedly hold up their hands, against all the menaces that are made against them.
