1. 11 Cor. 6. 11.

Faith, of the Operation of God, is a most excellent Grace; it is by Faith in the Blood of Christ that we come to be purged from the Guilt of Sin; Faith applying his Merits and Righteousness unto the Soul in Justification; and such is the Nature thereof, that it makes holy the Hearts and Lives of all such Persons in whom it is by the Spirit wrought or infused in Sanctification: And hath put no difference between them and us, Purifying their hearts by Faith. Yea, it cleanseth them ¹from all filthiness of Flesh and Spirit, that they may perfect Holiness in the fear of God.
