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?

Sol. Thus, his being upright did not consist in this, that he had no sin in him; nor in this, that he did no sin; nor in this, that he did all the good which he saw should be done: But in this, that he hated the sin which dwelt in him, that he resisted the evil working in him; that his inward man approved the good, and condemned the evil; that his inward man hated the evil, and was delighted in the Law of God. This was his uprightness, and upon this he concludes, that there was no condemnation, (i.) his sin should not sink his soul to hell, they should not separate him from the love of God in Christ, they should not be imputed to him, but Christ would take them off.1
