Paragraph 16.7
Of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith
Works done by unregenerate men, although for the matter of them they may things which God commands, and of good use both to themselves and to others;1 yet because they proceed not from a heart purified by faith,2 nor are done in a right manner according to the Word,3 nor to a right end, the glory of God,4 they are therfore sinful, and cannot please God, nor make a man meet to receive the grace from God,5 and yet their neglect fo them is more sinful and displeasing to God.6
The Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)
16.7
Works done by unregenerate men, although for the matter of them they may be things which God commands, and of good use both to themselves and others;1 yet because they proceed not from a heart purified by faith,2 nor are done in a right manner, according to the Word,3 nor to a right end, the glory of God;4 they are therefore sinful, and cannot please God, or make a man meet to receive grace from God.5 And yet their neglect of them is more sinful and displeasing unto God.6
