1.The grace by which we are justified is not an infused inherent quality but God's mercy and favor in Christ.2.That grace is not utterly absolute but determined to Christ's merit.
3.Faith, though never alone but accompanied by good works as fruits, nevertheless alone justifies.Justification of the converted lasts as long as life and faith.The righteousness of faith is Christ's own righteousness and God's inexhaustible grace—the only true consolation.
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN follows, On sanctification and good works.
Latin
1. Gratia qua iustificamur non est qualitas sive donum nobis infusum atque inhaerens, sed ipsa Dei misericordia et favor in Christo. 2. Gratia non est prorsus absoluta sed determinata ad Christi meritum. 3. Fides, etiamsi nunquam sola est sed bonis operibus tanquam fructibus stipatur, sola tamen iustificat. 6. Iustificatio hominis conversi tam diu durat quamdiu eius vita et fides. 7. Iustitia fidei est ipsius Christi iustitia et inexhausta Dei gratia, quae solam consolationem parit. CAPUT DECIMUM OCTAVUM sequitur, De sanctificatione et bonis operibus.
