Chapter 11: Of Justification PARAGRAPH 1 Those whom God effectually calleth, He also freely justifieth,1 not by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous;2 not for anything wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ's sake alone;3 not by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical obedience to them, as their righteousness; but by imputing Christ's active obedience unto the whole law, and passive obedience in his death for their whole and sole righteousness, they receiving and resting on Him and His righteousness by faith,4 which faith they have not of themselves; it is the gift of God.5 1 Rom. 3:24, 8:302 Rom. 4:5–8, Eph. 1:73 1 Cor. 1:30–31, Rom. 5:17–194 Phil. 3:8–9; Eph. 2:8–105 John 1:12, Rom. 5:17
