Against the Pelagians

^7. The quotations from Scripture are now continued:

In 1 John 1:5, John 1:7, 8, Matthew 5:14, Christ and the Apostles are called the Light of the world. The world therefore is darkness.

1 John i. 7. The blood of Christ cleanses us.

Job 25:5, 6. The stars are not pure in his sight.

Gal. ii. 16. “By the law no flesh shall be justified;” but

Romans 3:1, 24, 28, 30. Being justified freely through His grace, etc.

vi. 14. Not under the law, but under grace.

ix. 16. Not of him that wills, but of God which shows mercy.

ix. 30-32. The Gentiles...attained to the righteousness by faith.

x. 2. Christ is the end of the law to every one that believes.
