And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which [ oon (G5607 ) = af'oon by attr.] ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. The sense of this verse requires a pause to be made after "all things," and the next clause is to be viewed not as an exceptional clause, but as explanatory of the former one-thus: 'By Him the believer is justified from all things (all the charges of the broken law); a thing which the law of Moses is so far from being able to do, that it justifies from nothing.' It is a mere perversion of this great announcement to make it mean, 'The law, though it met most cases, had no provision for the pardon of some sins; but it is otherwise under Christianity.' It will be observed that the deeper sense of justification-its positive side-is reserved for the Epistles, addressed to the justified themselves; also, whereas it is the resurrection of Christ which is chiefly dwelt upon here and throughout the Acts-because the first thing in order to bring peace to the guilty through Christ was to establish His Messiahship by the fact of His resurrection from the dead-in the Epistles, it is His death, as the way of reconciliation, which is chiefly unfolded.
