Chapter 16: Of Good Works PARAGRAPH 7 Works done by unregenerate men, although for the matter of them they may be things which God commands, and of good use both to themselves and to others;19 yet because they proceed not from a heart purified by faith,20 nor are done in a right manner according to the Word,21 nor to a right end, the glory of God,22 they are therfore sinful, and cannot please God, nor make a man meet to receive the grace from God,23 and yet their neglect for them is more sinful and displeasing to God.24 19 2 Kings 10:30; 1 Kings 21:27,2920 Gen. 4:5; Heb. 11:4,621 1 Cor. 13:122 Matt. 6:2,523 Amos 5:21–22; Rom. 9:16; Titus 3:524 Job 21:14–15; Matt. 25:41–43
