Chapter 13

We believe that a man is justified by faith, not by works. But when we say by faith, we mean the correlative* of faith, which is the righteousness of Christ ; on which faith, as it were, fulfilling the function of a hand, + layeth hold, and applieth the same unto us for salvation; which we declare to be for the sustaining, and not for the detriment, of works. And that works are not to be neglected, since they are necessary means for a witness to faith, and for certification of our calling, the truth itself teacheth us. But withal they are of

themselves in no wise sufficient to give boldness at the tribunal of Christ, and to claim a recompense as by merit of condignity, and to save the possessor; and that this is so human frailty testifieth. But the righteousness of Christ applied to such as repent and imputed unto them alone justifieth and saveth the believer.
