<p>Note, 1. Where grace reigns sin is loathsome. It is the undoubted character of every <i>righteous man</i> that he <i>hates lying</i> (that is, all sin, for every sin is a lie, and particularly all fraud and falsehood in commerce and conversation), not only that he will not tell a lie, but he abhors lying, from a rooted reigning principle of love to truth and justice, and conformity to God. 2. Where sin reigns the <i>man is loathsome</i>. If his eyes were opened, and his conscience awakened, he would be so to himself, he would <i>abhor himself and repent in dust and ashes</i>; however, he is so to God and all good men; particularly, he makes himself so by lying, than which there is nothing more detestable. And, though he may think to face it out awhile, yet he will <i>come to shame</i> and contempt at last and will blush to show his face, <a class="bibleref" title="Dan.12.2" href="/passage/?search=Dan.12.2">Dan. 12:2</a>.</p>
