525:1
V ers. 15, 16. — Verumtamen vias meas in con- spectu ejus arguam, et ipse erit salvator meus. 48. Culpis suis nescit parcere, ut Deus parcat. — Cum Paulus apostolus dicat: Si nosmetipsos dijudica- remus, non utique judicaremur ( I Cor. xi, 31 ), eo tunc Dominus salvator invenitur, quo nunc pro ti- more Dei peccatum nostrum a nobismetipsis redar- guitur. Unde electi quique culpis suis nunquam sciunt parcere, ut possint culparum judicem placa- tum invenire. Et vere eum postmodum invenire sal- vatorem credunt, quem districte modo judicem me- tuunt. Nam qui sibi nunc in culpa parcit, ei postmo- dum in poena non parcitur. Dicat ergo: Verumtame(??) tias meas in conspectu ejus arguam.
第十五、十六節：「然而我要在祂面前辯明我的行徑，祂必作我的救主。」四十八、他不曉得寬容自己的過犯，好叫神寬容他。——既然使徒保羅說：「我們若是先分辨自己，就不至於受審」（林前十一31），主之所以被尋見為救主，正因我們的罪如今出於敬畏神而被我們自己所責備。故此，一切蒙揀選的人都不曉得寬容自己的過犯，好使他們能尋見那過犯的審判者已被平息。他們真信自己日後必尋見那位為救主，就是他們如今嚴厲懼怕為審判者的那位。因為那如今在過犯上寬容自己的人，日後在刑罰上必不蒙寬容。所以讓他說：「然而我要在祂面前辯明我的行徑。」
Verses 15, 16: 'Yet I will argue my ways in His sight, and He Himself shall be my saviour.' 48. He knows not how to spare his own faults, that God may spare him. — Since the Apostle Paul says: 'If we would judge ourselves, we should not indeed be judged' (1 Cor. 11:31), the Lord is then found a saviour, in that our sin is now reproved by our very selves out of the fear of God. Whence all the elect never know how to spare their own faults, that they may be able to find the Judge of faults appeased. And they truly believe that they will afterward find Him a saviour, whom they now strictly dread as judge. For he who now spares himself in fault, is afterward not spared in punishment. Let him say, then: 'Yet I will argue my ways in His sight.'

Quae vero utilitas de hac argutione sequatur adjungat: Et ipse erit salvator meus. Sequitur:
但讓他補充說明，從這番精妙的推論會生出什麼益處：「而祂自己必作我的救主。」接著說：
But let him add what benefit follows from this subtle reasoning: 'And he himself shall be my saviour.' There follows:
