See on (in that ver. 2.) he is one in whose spirit is no guile, what's that? that is, he is the upright person, whose spirit is really and plainly for God, who in truth desires to please him, who in truth hates all sin. This is that blessed man, and in this is a great part of his blessedness, that the Lord will not impute his iniquities unto him, but will forgive and cover them (i.) so forgive them that they shall not rise upon the account any more: Paul did upon this conclude by way of testimony to himself, and for others, that there was no condemnation unto them, Rom. 8. 1. why? what was Paul? what was his temper? verily it was upright.

Obj. Upright, why? he complains of sin, that he was sold under it, he complains of the Law of his members warring against the Law of his mind, he complains that he was brought into captivity; he complains that when he would do good, yet evil was present with him. How then can be say, that there was no condemnation for him? how was he upright?
