* As the word is, 1 Peter 2: 9, “Shew forth the praises (the virtues) of him who hath called you.”
* This is not to be understood as implying. That the law, either as a covenant or as a rule, requires either perfect or imperfect faith and repentance, as the proper condition of eternal life; but only, That no instances of personal obedience, how sincere soever that obedience may be, can ever entitle a sinner to life eternal.
