“He treats them, not according to what they deserve,–not according to what they naturally were, and, apart from the influences of his Spirit, still are (for “in them, that is, in their flesh, dwelleth no good thing”); but he treats them according to what their Lord deserves.” (John Brown 1784-1858)

Plumer (1802-1880)
