we who are dead to sin live any longer in it?" and "How shall we who died to sin, live any longer in it?" And if our people are to have a version of the inspired writings sufficiently accurate to guide their judgment in matters of controversy, it is of importance whether they read in Romans vi, 4, we were buried by baptism," as they ought to do, or "we are buried," as their Bibles have it; whether verse 6, "our old man was crucified with Him," or " is crucified;" whether, in the following passages, they know what St. Paul really wrote, or continue to be led astray by the imperfections of our translation. Romans v, 2, "we have obtained access. 5," the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts.' 11," we received the reconciliation." vi, 7, " He that died (as in ver. 2) has been justified, &c." 8, "If we died with Christ." 17, " Ye were the servants of sin, but ye 19, obeyed the form of doctrine." "As ye did yield your members," &c. Passing over minor examples of the same careless or wilful neglect, we come to vii, 4, where for " ye are become dead," we should read, "ye did become deadened;" ver. 6, for "we are delivered," we should In ix, 17, read So in xi, 2, the have " we were delivered;" viii, 2, for "hath made me free," "made me free." We should translate viii, 15, "ye received not the spirit of bondage, but ye received the Spirit of adoption;" ver. 24, "by hope, or in hope, we were saved," i. e. put into a state of salvation, not "are saved;" verses 20, 30, are correctly given. In ix, 13, the applicability of the words of Malachi is obscured by translating the aorists by "have loved, have hated." "for this cause I raised thee up." words, "God did not cast away His people," convey a different impression from " God hath not cast away," &c.; the one referring to the epoch of the call of the Gentiles, the other, apparently, to their present condition. But I must confine my note to passages which bear more or less on a question, on which there is no room for middle views, but on which every minister of the Gospel and every father of a family must make up his mind, if his training of those committed to his charge is to be consistent and uniform. That question is, "Are the people or the children before me children of God? or are they, some children of God, and the rest children of the devil? May I refer to the past rite in which some hold that they were united to Christ; or must I refer only to their present feelings, their present views of their own condition ?" And I say that if St. Paul referred to the Past, as we shall see that he does, we shall have less doubt how our conduct is to be guided, even whilst we regret that vast numbers of estimable men, who devote their lives to the spread of the Gospel, have been so misled by the imperfect version of St Paul's words with which alone they are habitually acquainted, as to mistake and misrepresent the Apostle's teaching. "I will notice therefore that "wast graffed," in Romans xi, 17, is correct. In xi. 30, 31, we should read, "did not believe God," "obtained mercy," they did not believe; " in xii, 3, "as God dealt; " in xii, 6, "the grace that was given to us," and so xv, 15; in xvi, 17, "the doctrine which ye learned,” i. e. at first." The remainder of the note is occupied with similar corrections in the other Epistles. LONDON! PRINTED BY J. E. ADLARD, BARTHOLOMEW CLOSE. THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER.
