“A Constant Reader.” In Romans 5:77For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. (Romans 5:7), the Apostle is setting forth the amazing love of Christ in dying for us. “Scarcely for a righteous man (that is, one who would exact his rights) would one die; yet, peradventure for a good man, (that is, one who would be disposed to forego his rights, and act in grace) some would even dare to die. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet” neither “good” nor “righteous,” b DUMAH.ut “sinners” and “enemies,” “Christ died for us.” We are very thankful for the blessing which our friend has received from the letters in our August and September numbers.
