None of these things are unknown to you if Faith you possess perfect faith towards Jesus Christ, and love, which are the beginning and end of life ; for the beginning is faith and the end is love, and when the two are joined together in unity it is God, and all other noble things follow after them.
No man who professes faith sins, nor does he hate who has obtained love. “The tree is known by its fruits ” : so they who profess to be of Christ shall be seen by their deeds. For the “deed” is not in present profession, but is shown by the power of faith, if a man continue to the end.
