A SERMON OF D. MARTIN LVTHER, CONCERNING GOOD WORKES THE FRVTES OF FAITH.
Rom. 13. Verse 11. This also we know the season, how that it is time that we should now arise from sleep: for now is our salvation nearer, then when we believed. 12. The night is past, and the day is at hand, let us therefore cast away the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13. Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in gluttony and drunkenness, neither in chambering and wantonness, nor in strife and envying: 14. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and take no thought for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts of it.

1THE Apostle in this text teacheth, not of faith, but of works the fruits of faith, showing how the life of a Christian ought to be ordered and framed according to the flesh outwardly among men. For how we must live in the spirit and before God, faith doth teach, whereof Paul a little before this place hath at large and even apostolically entreated. Yea if we consider this text well, it doth not so much teach, as provoke, exhort, move, and stir up them which are already taught, what they must do.
