Romans4:7
Blessed. Happy are they: they are highly favoured. Mt 5:3.
Whose sins are covered. Are concealed; or hidden from the view. On which God will no more look, and which he will no more remember. "By these words," says Calvin, (in loco,) "we are taught that justification with Paul is nothing else but pardon of sin." The word cover here has not reference to the atonement, but is expressive of hiding, or concealing, i.e. of forgiving sin.
(m) "Blessed are they" Psa 32:1,2
