Gospel justifies every living believer by grace—Crede et servaberis, not Fac et vives
Gospel justifies every living love-working believer by grace—even great sinners who repent.
Not Fac et vives but Crede et servaberis.
Latin
XXXIV. Sed ab omnibus, a quibus non possumus per legem Mosis justificari, per Christum omnis qui credit justificabitur. Nam Deus in Evangelio promittit se, propter Christum, credentes omnes in gratiam recepturum, & liberationem a maledictione legis, ac remissionem peccatorum omnium, in Christi sanguine, offert omnibus indiscriminatim, qui Christum fide viva, & per dilectionem operante, amplexi fuerint; illisque tanquam justis vitam & gloriam aeternam pollicetur. Ideoque Evangelium ad justificationem maximos etiam peccatores admittit, modo peccatis suis renunciantes, & edentes fructus poenitentia dignos, in Christum fide viva & efficaci credant. Nec enim justificat ex debito, sed ex gratia. Nec dicit, Fac & vives, verum, Crede & servaberis.
