Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 32:2

Commentary on Psalm 32:1-2

(Read Psalm 32:1-2)

Sin is the cause of our misery; but the true believer's transgressions of the Divine law are all forgiven, being covered with the atonement. Christ bare his sins, therefore they are not imputed to him. The righteousness of Christ being reckoned to us, and we being made the righteousness of God in him, our iniquity is not imputed, God having laid upon him the iniquity of us all, and made him a sin-offering for us. Not to impute sin, is God's act, for he is the Judge. It is God that justifies. Notice the character of him whose sins are pardoned; he is sincere, and seeks sanctification by the power of the Holy Ghost. He does not profess to repent, with an intention to indulge in sin, because the Lord is ready to forgive. He will not abuse the doctrine of free grace. And to the man whose iniquity is forgiven, all manner of blessings are promised.

16 None of the sins that person has committed will be remembered against them. They have done what is just and right; they will surely live.

Other Translations of Ezekiel 33:16

King James Version

English Standard Version

16 None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he shall surely live.

The Message

16 None of his sins will be kept on the books. He's doing what's right, living a good life. He'll live.

New King James Version

16 None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

New Living Translation

16 None of their past sins will be brought up again, for they have done what is just and right, and they will surely live.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 33:16

Commentary on Ezekiel 33:10-20

(Read Ezekiel 33:10-20)

Those who despaired of finding mercy with God, are answered with a solemn declaration of God's readiness to show mercy. The ruin of the city and state was determined, but that did not relate to the final state of persons. God says to the righteous, that he shall surely live. But many who have made profession, have been ruined by proud confidence in themselves. Man trusts to his own righteousness, and presuming on his own sufficiency, he is brought to commit iniquity. If those who have lived a wicked life repent and forsake their wicked ways, they shall be saved. Many such amazing and blessed changes have been wrought by the power of Divine grace. When there is a settled separation between a man and sin, there shall no longer be a separation between him and God.
