16 Now although that they, who are after this manner reconciled unto God through Christ apprehended by faith, do daily sin; and though also, that their good works are not every way perfect, but defiled by sin, (whereof we have many remnants still continuing in us after our renewing) yet those that do believe, are to fear no condemnation, but may assuredly wait, and look for eternal life; whereof they shall be undoubtedly partakers.
