Verse 29.— If ye know that he is righteous. As through the apostle would ask a queston: Do you know that God is righteous? He has promised that every one who obeys his Son shall inherit eternal life. The doing of righteousness, then, is required of those who lay claim to this promise. They only are the heirs of this inheritance. You need make no mistake if you believe God to be right­eous, and that he has promised eternal life to those who do righteousness; such only are heirs of that promise, and all such are begotten of him, belong to his family, and none others.
