<p>2:22 <i>He did no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth- </i>Through being justified, any repentant sinner will then have the characteristics of Christ, in God's sight. In Christ there was no guile, as there was not in David (or any other believer) after the justification of forgiveness (Ps. 32:2). The Lord's trial attempted to find evidence that He had spoken bad words during His ministry, but no evidence was found. &ldquo;Found&rdquo; translates a legal word, s.w. Mt. 26:60; Jn. 18:38; 19:4,6 concerning Christ&rsquo;s trial, parts of which Peter would have seen or heard first hand. And yet it was ultimately God's judgment which found no deceit in the Lord's mouth- note how never deceiving, being totally honest, is paralleled with not sinning. Sin is a lie, the devil sin is a false accuser. All sin is a form of dishonesty.</p>
