As the gospel reveals the only effectual method of justification, so also it alone can secure the sanctification of men. To exhibit this truth is the object of this and the following chapter. The sixth is partly argumenta- tive, and partly exhortatory. In verses 1 — 11 the apostle shows how unfounded is the objection, that gratuitous justification leads to the in- dulgence of sin. In vs. 12 — 23 he exhorts Christians to live agreeably to the nature and design of the gospel ; and presents various considera- tions adapted to secure their obedience to this exhortation.
