temptation for when he is tried, he shall
receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath

FAITH

• III. THE NATURE OF OUR FAITH

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God 24 Being justified freely by his
grace through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a
propitiation through faith in his blood 27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what
law? of works? Nay but by the law of faith. 28
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by
faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the
God of the Jews only? is he not also of the
Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also
