Again, when the wicked [man] turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, &c.] Repents of his sins, and forsakes the vicious course of life he has lived: and doeth that which is lawful and right; or “judgment” and “righteousness”f273; that which is agreeable to the law and will of God, and is just and right between man and man: he shall save his soul alive; from famine, pestilence, the sword, or captivity; he shall be preserved, and not be involved in calamities and distress: or, “shall quicken his own soul”f274; which, in a spiritual sense, is only done by the Spirit and grace of God, and not by man himself; nor is the enjoyment of eternal life by the works of men, but through the grace of God, and righteousness of Christ.
