In the xij. Chapter, he giveth exhortations. For this manner observeth Paul in all his Epistles, first he teacheth Christ, and the faith, then exhorteth he to good works, and unto continual mortifying of the flesh. So here teacheth he good works in deed, and the true serving of God, and maketh all men Priests, to offer up, not money and beasts, as the manner was in the time of the law, but their own bodies 1with killing, and mortifying the lusts of the flesh. After that he describeth the outward conversation of Christen men, how they ought to behave them selves in spiritual things, how to teach, preach and rule in the congregation of Christ, to serve one an other, to suffer all things patiently, and to commit wreak and vengeance to God: in conclusion how a Christen man ought to behave him self unto all men to friend, foe, or whatsoever he be. These are the right works of a Christen man which spring out of faith. For faith keepeth not holy day, neither suffereth any man to be idle, wheresoever she dwelleth.
