Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favour that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it.

Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace.
