Translated from Latin.
(1) Just as nothing but faith makes us righteous, so we sin by nothing but unbelief.
Justification is peculiar to faith in the fourth way, 1) as sin is to unbelief.
(3) If faith is not without all works, even the least of them, it does not make one righteous; indeed, it is no faith at all.
It is impossible for faith to be without constant, many and great works.
(5) Neither do the works done after justification justify, though they are called righteousness in the Scriptures,
6) Nor do the works done before justification make one guilty, 2) although they are called sins in Scripture.
7. He who is born of God does not sin, neither can he sin.
(8) He who says he has no sin deceives himself, and the truth is not in him.
9. as much as the fruits serve for the essence of a tree, so much the works serve for the justification and the guilt (reatum).
1) These words seem to indicate that this disputation is only a part of a larger whole.
2) Marginal gloss of the Jena edition: But unbelief, without which no sin takes place.
10 If adultery could be done in faith, it would not be sin.
When you worship God the Lord in unbelief, you commit an act of idolatry.
Faith completely overthrows both trust in good works and despair because of evil works.
(13) Faith makes the conscience small (minuit) in regard to sins and large (auget) in regard to merit.
14 Unless we all want to be liars, God cannot be truthful to us.
15. No one's unbelief cancels out the truth of God.
16. our unrighteousness praises the righteousness of god, yet he is righteous and an avenger of unrighteousness.
17. the truth of god proves itself mightily in our lie, for his glory, and yet we are rightly judged as sinners.
18 Although one should not do evil, so that good may come from it:
(19) Yet much evil has been done, and is being done, that some good may come of it.
20. it is not faith or righteousness that comes from works, but works from faith and righteousness.
