Excerpt from The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Romans: With Notes, Chiefly Explanatory; Designed as an Accompaniment to the Author's Notes on the Gospels and the Acts The happy consequences of this justifying faith are next presented, 5: 1 - 11 and a contrast is drawn between Adam, through whom sin and death came, and Christ, through whom come righteousness and life, 5: 12 - 21. The principle, that faith is put to a person's account as righteous ness, illustrative as it is of the grace, or loving favor, of God, is next viewed in its relation to the holiness of a believer. Faith in Christ, so far from allowing sin, makes its possessor dead to sin through his participation in the death of Christ, or through his union with Christ in respect to his death, 6: 1 - 14. The believer is no longer under the law, the requisitions of which prove an occasion of excitement to sin: he now serves God, having a new spirit towards him and standing in a new relation to him, 6 15 to 7 1 - 6.
