Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Ver. 24. Being justified freely] Because the apostle's word δωρεα is expounded by Varinus to be χαριτος αλλαγη, therefore Thammerus will needs conclude from this text that God by justifying us, doth but pay for our pains, give us what we have earned. Caelum gratis non accipiam, saith Vega. Opera bona sunt caeli mercatura, saith another. Heaven is the purchase of good works.
By the redemption] i.e. By faith applying this redemption, wrapping herself in the golden fleece of that Lamb of God.
