In the .vj. he setteth forth the chief and principal1 work of faith / the battle of the sprite against the flesh / how the sprite laboureth & enforceth to kill the remnant of sin and lust which remain in the flesh / after our justifying. And this chapter teacheth us / that we are not so free from sin through faith / that we should henceforth goo up and down idle careless & sure of our selves / as though there2 were now no more sin in us. yes there is sin remaining in us / but it is not reckoned / because of faith and of the sprite / which fight against it. Wherefore we have enough to do all our syues long / to tame our bodies / and to compel the members to obey the sprite and not the appetites / that thereby we might be like unto Christs death and resurrection / & might fulfil our baptism / which signifieth the mortifying of since / & the new life of grace. For this battle ceaseth not in us until the last breath / and until that sin be utterly slain by the death of the body.
In the .vj. he setteth forth the chefe and principall1 worke of fayth / the batayll of the sprite agaynst the flesshe / how the sprite laboureth & enforseth to kyll the remenaunte of synne and luste which remayne in the flesshe / after oure iustifyinge. And this chapter teacheth vs / that we are not so frefrō synne thorowe fayth / that we shulde henceforth goo vp and doune ydle carlesse & sure of oure selues / as though there2 were nowe no more synne in vs. yes there is synne remayninge in vs / but it is not rekened / because of fayth and of the sprite / which fighte agaynst it. Wherfore we haue ynough to do all oure syues longe / to tame oure bodies / and to compell the members to obeye the sprite and not the appetites / that therby we myghte be lyke vnto Christes deeth and resurrecciō / & mighte fulfill oure baptyme / which signifieth the mortifiynge of synnes / & the newe life of grace. For this batayle ceaseth not in vs vntill the laste breth / and vntyll that synne be vtterly slayne by the deeth of the bodye.
