44. That believers who differ among themselves ought not to refer to a Gentile judge.

40. That we must not labour noisily nor boastfully.

In the Gospel according to Matthew: “Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth, that thine alms may be in secret; and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall render to thee.”^[4408] Also in the same place: “When thou doest an alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the streets and in the synagogues, that they may be glorified of men. Verily I say unto you, They have fulfilled their reward.”^[4409]

41. That we must not speak foolishly and offensively.

In Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians: “Foolish speaking and scurrility, which are not fitting for the occasion, let them not be even named among you.”^[4410]

42. That faith is of advantage altogether, and that we can do as much as we believe.

In Genesis: “And Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.”^[4411] Also in Isaiah: “And if ye do not believe, neither shall ye understand.”^[4412] Also in the Gospel according to Matthew: “O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?”^[4413] Also in the same place: “If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Pass over from here to that place, and it shall pass over; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”^[4414] Also according to Mark: “All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye shall receive them, and they shall be yours.”^[4415] Also in the same place: “All things are possible to him that believeth.”^[4416] In Habakkuk: “But the righteous liveth by my faith.”^[4417] Also in Daniel: “Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, trusting in God, were delivered from the fiery flame.”

43. That he who believes can immediately obtain (i.e., pardon and peace).

In the Acts of the Apostles: “Lo, here is water; what is there which hinders me from being baptized? Then said Philip, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.”^[4418]
