 1 Pref2|        THE CHIEF ARTICLES OF OUR FAITH.~~1. I believe in God the
 2    1 |          that the confidence and~faith of the heart alone make
 3    1 |         God and an idol. If your faith and~trust be right, then
 4    1 |        these two belong together faith and God. That now, I say,
 5    1 |      commandment to require true faith~and trust of the heart which
 6    1 |        and taught [the~basis of] faith, so this commandment leads
 7    1 |       sublime, subtle matters of~faith and doctrine. And among
 8    1 |       obedience, no fidelity, no~faith, but only daring, unbridled
 9    1 |        above) first the heart by faith gives God the~honor due
10    1 |          For in the~sight of God faith is what really renders a

12    2 |          under the~Papacy, where faith was entirely put under the
13    2 |         by the Holy Ghost~in one faith, one mind, and understanding,
14    2 |         and~become strong in the faith and its fruits which He
15    2 |       increases, and strengthens faith in order that when He has~
16    2 |           which now~we expect in faith through the Word. ~Behold,
17    2 |          namely, the doctrine of faith] brings pure grace, and~
18    3 |     preserve, and increase in us faith and the~fulfillment of the
19    3 |        from obedience to God~and faith in His promise, nor has
20    3 |         and strengthen us in the faith~by His power. ~Therefore
21    3 |        time through the Word and faith; and secondly, in eternity
22    3 |           that it be received in faith, and work and live in us,
23    3 |   greatest need, for the Gospel, faith,~and the Holy Ghost, that
24    3 |         God to tear us away from faith, hope, and love and bring~
25    3 |       patient, kind,~and in firm faith, the devil will this very
26    3 |      than the word of undoubting~faith, which does not pray at
27    3 |           where there~is no such faith, there cannot be true prayer
28    3 |           6]:~But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering; for he
29    4 |          new spirits assert that faith alone saves,~and that works
30    4 |        in us is of any avail but faith, as we shall~hear still
31    4 |        to see this,~namely, that faith must have something which
32    4 |        it stands and rests. Thus faith~clings to the water, and
33    4 |        are so mad as to separate faith and that to which faith~
34    4 |          faith and that to which faith~clings and is bound though
35    4 |         means He speaks, thither faith must look, and to that it
36    4 |         rejects the Word of God, faith, and Christ, who~directs
37    4 |         shall be~saved. That is, faith alone makes the person worthy
38    4 |          with the~heart. Without faith it profits nothing, notwithstanding
39    4 |  determined that whatever is not faith~avails nothing nor receives
40    4 | salvation; what then,~becomes of faith? Answer: Yes, our works,
41    4 |         not exclude, but demand, faith; for without faith they
42    4 |       demand, faith; for without faith they could not~be apprehended.
43    4 |     which He gives us, and which faith apprehends; just as the~
44    4 |    offered to us and received by faith.~Therefore they do us violence
45    4 |         though we~preach against faith; while we alone insist upon
46    5 |     pasture and sustenance, that faith~may refresh and strengthen
47    5 |      that~we either renounce our faith or yield hands and feet
48    5 |       forgive sins or~strengthen faith? Although they hear and
49    5 |       received otherwise than by faith. This faith He~Himself demands
50    5 |    otherwise than by faith. This faith He~Himself demands in the
51    5 |          But this is done by the faith of the heart, which discerns~
52    5 |      other matters~pertaining to faith, love, and patience, it
