The Apostle Saint Paul having in the first verse of this present Chapter, in the very first words of the Verse set down the blessed Privileges of all true believers, such as are regenerated and are in Christ, he doth afterwards in many Verses lay down the Signs and Trials, whereby he doth discover who they be that are in that blessed condition, and who they be that are not: And amongst others (not to stand upon the Coherence, it not being necessary for the understanding of this Verse) he doth in the words of the Text, lay down certain clear Signs and Trials, whereby people may know whether they are regenerated by Christ, and so justified, yea or no; And that is the Scope and Sum of this Verse, If Christ be in you, the body is dead, because of sin; but the Spirit is life, because of righteousness.
