14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:



Ver. 14. Even the forgiveness, &c.] {See Trapp on "Mat_1:21"} Sin is the greatest evil; as that which sets us farthest from God the chiefest good; and as that which procureth and embittereth all other evils that befall us. Christ therefore redeemeth his "Israel from their iniquities," Psa_130:8; he crosseth out of God’s debtbook the black lines of their sins with the red lines of his own blood, and so "redeemeth his Israel out of all their troubles," Psa_25:22.
