(For not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that according to choice the purpose of God might remain, not of works, but of him calling;)

For Moses writes the justice of the law, That the man having done these things shall live in them.

And the justice of faith says thus, Thou shouldest not say in thy heart, Who shall go up to heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)

Or, Who shall go down to the abyss? (that is, to bring up Christ from the dead.)

Lord, thy prophets have they killed, and dug down thine altars; and I alone was left, and they seek my soul.

The night has advanced, and the day has drawn near: therefore let us lay down the works of darkness, and put on the weapons of light.

Who for my soul have laid down their own necks: to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the nations.
