Unto you first, God having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. Matt. xvii. 5.

SECTION X.

Rom. viii. 16, 17, 18. 28. 33, 34. There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?
