That all mankind being thus fallen and become altogether dead in sin, and subject to the eternal wrath of God both by original and actual corruption: The elect are redeemed,¹ quickened, raised up and saved again, not of themselves, neither by works, lest any man should boast himself; but wholly and only by God of His free grace and mercy through faith in Christ Jesus,² who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption, that according as it is written, He that rejoices let him rejoice in the Lord.
