1 John3:5
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin .
Implying how great an Absurdity it were, to expect Salvation and Blessedness by our sinless Saviour, and yet indulge our selves in Sin against his Design, not only to expiate our Sins, but to make us sinless like himself.
