Catechesis: Justification

Paul sets forth in the third chapter: “For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law” (Romans 3:28). The adversaries conclude that this passage refers to Levitical ceremonies. But Paul speaks not only of ceremonies, but of the whole Law. For he quotes afterward (7:7) from the Ten Commandments: “You shall not covet.”—Ap IV:87
