Question 114

But can those who are converted to God perfectly keep these commandments?

No: but even the holiest men, while in this life, have only a small beginning of this obedience;³³⁸³³⁸    1 John 1:8–10; Rom. 7:14, 15; Eccl. 7:20; 1 Cor. 13:9. yet so, that with a sincere resolution they begin to live, not only according to some, but all the commandments of God.³³⁹³³⁹    Rom. 7:22; Ps. 1:2; James 2:10.
