Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

9 , Therefore by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight. Observe, (1.) No flesh shall be justified, no man, no corrupted man ( Gen. vi. 3 ), for that he also is flesh, sinful and depraved; therefore not justified, because we are flesh.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
