1 Corinthians 4:4
But not justified.
◦ The Heretics are certain that they be in God's grace, but S. Paul though guilty of no crime in his conscience, durst not assure himself that he was justified, neither could take upon him to be judge of his own heart and cogitations, whether they were pure or no: but the trial thereof he left only to God's judging day.
