John CalvinWhere God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.
John CalvinA man will be justified by faith when, excluded from righteousness of works, he by faith lays hold of the righteousness of Christ, and clothed in it, appears in the sight of God not as a sinner, but as righteous.
John Calvin
