For what reason? Because they are not of faith, but as it were of works of the law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

in one an odor of death to death, and in the other an odor of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

Whereunto

For some men have come in by deception, who were of old appointed to this judgment, impious, changing the grace of our God into lewdness, and denying our only master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
