Believe, just as you are
To conclude. Whoever you are, O man, who have the sentence of death in yourself, who feel yourself a condemned sinner, and have the wrath of God abiding on you: to you the Lord does not say, Do this: perfectly obey all my commands and live. He says, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved. The word of faith is near to you: now, at this instant, in the present moment, and in your present state, sinner as you are, just as you are, believe the gospel, and I will be merciful to your unrighteousness, and your iniquities I will remember no more.

6. To conclude. Whosoever thou art, O man, who hast the sentence of death in thyself, who feelest thyself a condemned sinner, and hast the wrath of God abiding on thee: unto thee saith the Lord, Not, do this; perfectly obey all my commands and live: but, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. The word of faith is nigh unto thee; now, at this instant, in the present moment, and in thy present state, sinner as thou art, just as thou art, believe the gospel: and I will be merciful unto |thy| unrighteousness and |thy| iniquities will I remember no more.
