When therefore, after St. Paul, we say that we are justified by faith alone, or freely, or by faith without works... we do not say that faith is a virtue which makes us righteous, in ourselves, before God. For this would be to put faith in the place of Jesus Christ who is, alone, our perfect and entire righteousness. But we speak thus with the Apostle, and we say that by faith alone we are justified, inasmuch as it embraces Him who justifies us, Jesus Christ.
