Depart from Me, O cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels Matt. xxv 41;

for the Lord does not say of the 'goats' that they did evils, but that they did not do goods. The reason they did not do goods is because they say to themselves, 'I cannot do good from myself; the law does not condemn me; Christ's blood cleanses me and liberates me; the passion of the cross has borne the guilt of sin; Christ's merit is imputed to me through faith; I am reconciled to the Father, in grace, I am regarded as a son; and He considers our sins as infirmities which He instantly remits for the sake of His Son; thus He justifies through faith alone; and if this were not the sole means of salvation no mortal (nemo mortalium) could be saved. For what other end should the Son of God suffer the cross, and fulfil the law, but that He might take away the damnation of our transgressions?' These and further similar things do they say to themselves, and so they do not do goods that are goods; for no goods proceed out of their faith alone, which is nothing but a faith of cognitions, in itself an historical faith, thus knowledge only. For it is a dead faith into which no life or soul comes unless the man directly approaches the Lord and as of himself flees from evils as sins. In that event the goods that the man does as of himself are from the Lord, thus goods in themselves. Concerning this matter it is thus [written] in Isaiah:-

Woe to the sinful nation laden with iniquity, the seed of evildoers, souls misled; when you spread forth your hands I hide Mine eyes from you, even if you multiply prayer I will not hear. Wash you, purify you, put away the wickedness of your doings from before Mine eyes, cease to do evil, learn to do good; then though your sins have been as scarlet, they shall become white as snow; though they have been as purple, they shall be as wool Isa. i 4, 15-18.

And in Jeremiah:-

Stand at the gate of the house of Jehovah and proclaim there this word, Do not trust the words of a lie, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah are these (the Church of God, the Church of God, the Church of God where our faith is); will you, with stealing, killing, committing adultery and swearing by means of a lie, then come and stand before Me in this house whereupon My Name is named and say, We have been delivered, while you are doing those abominations? Has this house become a den of robbers? Behold, even I have seen, Jehovah has said Jer. vii 2-4, 9-11.
