Of Good Works
Albeit that good works, which are
the fruits of faith and follow after justification, cannot put away our sins
and endure the severity of God's judgment, yet are they pleasing and acceptable
to God in Christ, and do spring out necessarily of a true and lively faith,
insomuch that by them a lively faith may be as evidently known as a tree
discerned by the fruit.
Bona opera, quae sunt fructus fidei et iustificatos
sequuntur, quanquam peccata nostra expiare et divini iudicii severitatem ferre
non possunt, Deo tamen grata sunt et accepta in Christo, atque ex vera et viva
fide necessario profluunt, ut plane ex illis aeque fides viva cognosci possit
atque arbor ex fructu iudicari.
