Chapter 15: Of the Righteous and the Wicked

That there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked;^a that such only as through faith are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and sanctified by the Spirit of our God, are truly righteous in his esteem;^b while all such as continue in impenitence and unbelief are in his sight wicked, and under the curse;^c and this distinction holds among men both in and after death.^d*1
