The Apostle saith, There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ, ⟨p. 193⟩1who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. Though thou hast much flesh in thee, and art sometimes overtaken with sin, yet if thou dost not walk after the flesh, as a servant after his Master, if thou walkest after the Spirit, there is no condemnation to thee.
The Apostle saith, If we confess 1our sins, God is faithful to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we confess our sins out of a detestation of sin, with bleeding hearts, and a sincere purpose of forsaking them, God is bound by virtue of his promise to forgive us, else he were unfaithful.
