The Covering of Sin
Romans 4:6-8
Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works,…


There is a covering of sin which proves a curse (Proverbs 28:13), which consists in not confessing it, or denying it — Gehazi's covering, which was by a lie; and by justifying ourselves in it. All these are evil coverings, and he that thus covereth his sin shall not prosper. But there is a blessed covering of sin, when God hides it out of sight by forgiving it.

(R. Alleine.)
