AE 789b [3]
...with everyone who is being reformed,
he first forms doctrine for himself out of the Word,
and distinguishes in it between the things that are to be believed
and the things that are to be done.
The things that are to be believed he calls faith,
and the things that are to be done he calls charity;
but as the order with every one has been reversed from birth
he looks to faith in the first place
and charity in the second.
Yet if he lives the life of faith, which is charity,
the order is by degrees turned about and restored;
and from charity he lives faith.
