And as touching forgiveness of sin: though forgiveness of sin be 1promised unto thee, yet challenge it not by thy merits, but by the merits of Christs blood, and hear what Paul saith Phil. iij. Concerning the righteousness of the law, I was faultless, or such as no man could rebuke. But the things that were to vantage, I thought damage for Christs sake, yea, I think all thing to be damage or ⟨p. 219⟩loss, for the excellent knowledges sake of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whose sake I let all go to loss, and count them as chaff or refuse (that is to say, as things which are purged out, and refused when a thing is tried and made perfect) that I might win Christ, & might be found in him: not having my righteousness that cometh of yt law. But y• which cometh of faith in Christ Jesus, which righteousness cometh of God through faith, and is to know him, and the power of his resurrection (how he is Lord over all sin, & the only thing that slayeth and vanquisheth sin) and to know also the fellowship of his passions that I might be made like unto his death.
And as touching forgeuenesse of sinne: though forgeuenesse of sinne be 1promised vnto thee, yet chalenge it not by thy merites, but by the merites of Christes bloud, and heare what Paule sayth Phil. iij. Concerning the righteousnes of the law, I was faultlesse, or such as no man could rebuke. But the thinges that were to vauntage, I thought domage for Christes sake, ye, I thinke all thing to be dammage or ⟨p. 219⟩losse, for the excellēt knowledges sake of Christ Iesus my Lord: for whose sake I let all go to losse, and count thē as chaffe or refuse (that is to say, as thinges which are purged out, and refused when a thyng is tryed and made perfect) that I might wynne Christ, & might be found in him: not hauyng my righteousnes yt cōmeth of yt lawe. But y• which cōmeth of faith in Christ Iesu, which righteousnes commeth of God through fayth, and is to know him, and the power of his resurrection (how he is Lord ouer all sinne, & the onely thyng that slayeth and vanquisheth sinne) and to know also the felowshyp of his passions that I might be made like vnto his death.
