一、蒙上帝有效呼召的人，上帝也白白稱他們為義。 但不是將義放(灌注)到他們裡面，稱他們為義；而是赦免他們的罪，歸算他們為義，接納他們為義人。 不是因為在他們裡面做了甚麼，或是他們自己做了甚麼，而是單單因為基督的緣故。並不是因為把信心歸給他們，也不是因為他們相信的動作，或是他們有任何其他「有福音意義的順服」，就算為他們的義﹔乃是把「基督順服父，使上帝公義的要求使父得到了滿足的義」就將義歸算給他們，以致他們憑信心接受主基督和祂的義，依靠祂和接受祂的義﹔這信心並不是出於他們自己，乃是上帝所賜的禮物。
Those whom God effectually calls he also freely justifies (a) not by infusing righteousness into them but by pardoning their sins and by accounting and accepting them as righteous. It is not for anything wrought in them or done by thembut for Christ’s sake alone that they are justified. It is not by imputing faith itself the act of believing or any other act of Christian obedience to them as their righteousness but by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ to them (b) who receive and rest on him and his righteousness by faith. Men do not have this faith of themselves; it is the gift of God (c).
二、所謂信心，就是這樣接受並依靠基督祂的義，這乃是稱義的唯一方法；然而在被稱義者的心中，不是只有信，而是也伴隨一切別的(美德)恩典，而且這不是死的信心，而是使人生發愛的信心。
Faith – receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousness – is the only instrument of justification (d); yet it is not the only grace in the person justifiedbut is always accompanied by all other saving graces. Justifying faith is not deadbut works by love (e).
三、基督藉著順服和受死，完全清償了一切這樣被稱為義之人的罪債，並且為他們使父上帝的公義得到適當、真實、完全的滿足。然而，基督既是為了他們被父上帝賜下基督，而且代替他們順服神，滿足了父上帝公義的要 求 ，蒙父上帝悅納，這順服與滿足都是白白的恩典，不是因他們裡面有任何功德，所以他們的稱義是唯獨出於白白的恩典，使上帝絕對的公義和豐富的恩慈，在罪人稱義上可以得著榮耀。
Christby his obedience and deathfully discharged the debt of all those who are justified. He made a properrealand full satisfaction to his Father’s justice in their behalf (f). Yetbecause he was freely given by the Father for them (g)and because his obedience and satisfaction were freely accepted in their stead (h)and not for anything in themtheir justification is only of free grace (i). It was God’s purpose in the justification of sinners to glorify both his exact justice and his rich grace (k).
四、上帝在創世以前就頒佈永恆預旨，稱一切選民為義，而基督在日期滿足的時候，就為他們的罪死了，也為他們的稱義復活了﹔ 雖然如此，但他們必須等到聖靈在適當的時候，實際將基督施行在他們身上，才得稱義。
God from all eternity decreed to justify all the elect (l). In the fullness of time Christ died for their sins and rose again for their justification (m). Nevertheless they are not justified until in due time the Holy Spirit actually applies Christ to them (n).
五、上帝確實繼續赦免被稱義之人的罪，他們雖然永遠不能從稱義的地位上墮落，但他們可能因罪蒙上帝不喜悅，就 像 是 兒 子 因 過 失 使 父 親 不 喜悅，直到他們謙卑、 認罪、 求饒，並重新相信、 重新悔改，上帝的面光才再次光照他們。
God continues to forgive the sins of those who are justified (o). Although they can never fall from the state of justification (p)yet they may by their sins fall under God’s fatherly displeasure and not have the light of his countenance restored to them until they humble themselvesconfess their sinplead for pardonand renew their faith and repentance (q).
六、舊約時代的信徒稱義，與新約時代的信徒稱義，在各方面都是同一的。
The justification of believers under the old testament wasin all these respectsone and the same with the justification of believers under the new testament (r).
