Thesis VIII. In fact anyone who insisted that believers have no truly good, just and holy works would by that very claim shut them out of salvation and condemn them to the eternal fire of hell.
Without holiness no one will see the Lord. Christ says, 'Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven' (Matthew 5). The Lord even declares that every tree that does not bear good fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire (Matthew 7), and that every branch in him that bears no fruit is to be taken away and gathered up to be thrown into the fire and burned (John 15).
Latin
VIII. Ac profecto qui pertenderent in fidelibus nulla opera vere bona justa & sancta reperiri, hoc ipso illos salute excluderent, & aeternis inferni ignibus adjudicarent. Nam sine sanctificatione nemo videbit Dominum. Et [marg.: Mat. c. 5.] nisi inquit Christus, abundaverit justitia vestra plusquam scribarum & Pharisaeorum, non intrabitis in regnum coelorum. Quinimo declarat Dominus arborem omnem quae non fert fructum bonum excindendam esse & in ignem mittendam, Matth. cap. 7. Item palmitem omnem, qui fructum in eo non fert, tollendum esse atque colligendum, ut in ignem mittatur, & ardeat, Joh. 15.
