‏ Romans 4:6-7

Verse 6. Even as David also, &c.] David, in Ps 32:1, 2, gives us also the true notion of this way of justification, i.e. by faith, without the merit of works, where he says:-

Verse 7. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven] That is, the man is truly happy whose iniquities αιανομιαι, whose transgressions of the law are forgiven; for by these he was exposed to the most grievous punishment. Whose sins, αιαμαρτιαι, his innumerable deviations from the strict rule of truth and righteousness, are covered-entirely removed out of sight, and thrown into oblivion. See the meaning of the word sin in Clarke's note on "Ge 13:13".
