10. (10) And this faith is a faith in God the Saviour Jesus Christ, and in its simple form is as follows:
I. There is one God, in Whom is a Divine Trinity, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ.
II. Saving faith is to believe in Him.
III. Evil works are to be shunned because they belong to the devil and have their origin in him.
IV. Good works are to be done because they belong to God and have their origin in Him.
V. And these are to be done by man as if from himself, but it ought to be believed that they are from the Lord present with man and working by means of him.
