1If we examine carefully, we shall find that all the righteous were adorned with good works. And the Lord himself, having adorned himself with works, rejoiced.
2Having this example, let us approach his will without hesitation. With all our strength let us do works of righteousness.
3But we are not justified by ourselves, nor by our wisdom, understanding, piety or works that we did in holiness of heart.
4But by faith, by which God Almighty justified all from the beginning.
