To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The meaning of this I believe is that because God is Himself righteous He is the communi- cator of righteousness to or the Eightener of him who has the faith which Jesus had. It is not justification in the forensic sense which is here spoken of. The apostle's subject has all along been righteousness, not acquittal ; if we forget this we lose the thread of the argument. The revelation is made " for obedience to the faith, " that is, to bring men into submission to the will of God. But in this ...clause we leave the subjective and come to the objective ; not indeed as a new thing, for all along we have seen that the subjective the righteousness of 160 THOUGHTS ON ST. PAUL'S God in man implies the objective, the right- eousness of God in Himself. Still we welcome the change. It is God's own character which is the ground of all faith ; and the setting forth of Jesus as the example of that faith is only gospel to us when understood as a dis- covery of the Father's purpose to make us partakers of His own righteousness, By following out this train of thought I believe we shall arrive at the true sense in which Jesus is set forth as a propitiation.
