The source uses plural 'they/iniquities', also found in DRA and BRENTON, against WEB/ASV singular wording. The verified DRA/BRENTON native locator for this actual blessing is Psalm 31:1, corresponding here to modern Psalm 32:1. PSA 32:2 (exposition): The second quoted blessing, non-imputation of sin, is given the same explicit Christ-advent/remission interpretation. Its remaining no-deceit clause is not quoted or explained. The verified DRA/BRENTON native locator for this actual blessing is Psalm 31:2, corresponding here to modern Psalm 32:2. COL 2:14 (exposition): He explains the cancelled handwriting nailed to the cross as the debt incurred by disobedience at a tree being remitted through another tree. The debt/cross clause is directly interpreted. Historical 'destroyed/fastened' and modern blotted-out/taken-away/nailed renderings are preserved separately. {\"reference\": \"MRK 2:7 / LUK 5:21\", \"basis\": \"The unquoted 'no one can forgive sins but God alone' is a real shared Gospel saying, and the author reasons from it to Christ's identity.
