Justification
J. Durham. Isaiah 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many… There are commonly six causes made necessary to concur in justification. 1. The efficient cause — God, the Party that doth justify. 2. The final cause — His own glory. 3. The meritorious cause — Christ's merit. 4. The inward instrumental cause — faith. 5. The formal cause, or that wherein justification consists. 6. The external, instrumental cause — the Word of God. (J. Durham.) Parallel Verses KJV: He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. WEB: After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.
