Without Controversy great is the Mystery of Godliness; 1God manifested in the Flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of Angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the World, received up into glory. This is the Record, that God hath 2given us Eternal life, and this Life is in his Son; He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son hath 3not life. He was in the World, and the World was made by him, and the world knew him not; He came to his own and his own received him not; This is the Condemnation that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness 4rather than light, because their Deeds are Evil. But as many as receive him, to them gives he Power to become 5the Sons of God, even to them that believe in his Name; There is therefore now no Condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. He forgiveth our Iniquities, and will remember our sins no more; 6who shall lay any thing to Charge of Gods elect? It is God that Justifieth, who is he that Condemneth? It is Christ that 7died; Yea, rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God; who also maketh intercession for us. Who 8gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all Iniquity; & purify to himself a peculiar people zealous of good works. 9If any man have not the spirit of Christ, the same is none of his. He that nameth the name of Christ must depart from Iniquity. If we regard Iniquity in our hearts, God will ⟨p. 100⟩10not hear our Prayers. But we are washed, we are sanctified, 11we are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God. Not by works of Righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us by the washing of Regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. 12And being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom also we have Access by 13Faith into this Grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the Glory of God; And hope maketh not ashamed, because 14the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost which is given to us. For if when we were Enemies 15we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being Reconciled, we shall be saved by his life? He 16that spared not his own Son, but gave him up for us All, 17how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
