Thesis II. Christ, by the power of his grace, makes good trees out of those who are rotten and bad by nature. Through his Spirit he cleanses people from the corruption of sin and makes them holy.
He causes them to strip off the old self and put on the new, to become new creations, and to serve righteousness rather than sin from now on.
Latin
II. Verum eos qui per naturam arbores putres & malae sunt Christus gratiae suae efficacia bonas arbores reddit. Homines enim per Spiritum suum, a corruptione peccati repurgat atque sanctificat, efficitque ut veterem hominem exuentes, novum hominem induant, & fiant novae creaturae, neque amplius peccato, sed justitiae serviant.
