Living faith is not idle but effective through love (Gal. 5:6); yet it justifies alone—not insofar as it works, but insofar as it apprehends Christ.
Faith's effects—union with God, evangelical justification, sanctification, peace of conscience—are treated in the next chapter.
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN follows, On the consequences and effects of Christian faith.
Latin
Fides viva non est otiosa sed per charitatem efficax (Gal. 5:6); tamen iustificat sola, non quatenus operatur, sed quatenus Christum apprehendit. Effecta fidei—unio cum Deo, iustificatio Euangelica, sanctificatio, pax conscientiae—sequenti capite tractantur. CAPUT DECIMUM SEPTIMUM sequitur, De fidei Christianae consequentibus et effectis.
