This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1853 Excerpt: ... the language is, " sin slew me," dneKreive; in 2 Cor. iii. 6, it is, "the letter (meaning the law, ) killeth," dnoKreivei. In the one text, the law is said to do what, in the other, is ascribed to the carnal principle or fallen nature. Language of this kind is usual in common life, and abounds also in Holy Scripture. Thus we read that "God hardened Pharaoh's heart," that "Pharaoh hardened his heart," and "that the heart of Pharaoh was hardened;" (Exod. vii. 13, viii. 32, vii. 14;) the last phrase expressing the ostensible and undeniable fact, the preceding one, the personal agency of the man himself, and the first the divine permission.

The theory whereby such seemingly contradictory declarations are reconciled, is the very simple one, of the agent speaking or acting as the principal: qui facit per alium facit per se. Thus, in the case under consideration, the law is the occasion, sinful passion the cause. " By the commandment," and "by it," are evidently connected respectively with the verb that follows; and, as was before said, determine the connection of the phrase, "by the commandment," in the 8th verse, to be with the subsequent verb. Thus it is evident from the foregoing representation, that the law is in all respects, excellent, and not ...
