Apostles, his conversation with Peter, his fall, and his own rebuke, through which he chastised him for his dissimulation and hypocrisy. In the fourth place is established the protasis proposition, the proposition of the whole cause, namely that we are justified by faith in Christ, without the merit of works. He proposes this in chapter 2, verse 16, and explains it somewhat up to the end of that chapter, with reasons added in his customary manner. In the fifth place follows the kataskeuē confirmation of the proposition, at the beginning of chapter 3. The confirmation of the proposition is continued through the whole of chapters 3 and 4, and the beginning of chapter 5. The sixth part contains the parainesin exhortation, which is annexed to the preceding points through anticipation in chapter 5, verse 13. The whole locus concerns the doctrine of works, the love of the neighbor, the fruits of the spirit and the flesh, the gentleness to be exercised toward the weak, the support which the Churches owe to pious teachers, the moderating of Christian liberty, and beneficence toward the poor. These things are extended up to verse 11 of chapter 6. From there the seventh part may be constituted. This is the epilogue, in which he repeats a few things concerning the nature of the false teachers, through whose work circumcision and other legalities were foisted upon them, concerning true glory, concerning his own condition, and his desire to depart from this life. And these things seem general. At the end, he concludes the whole Epistle with a brief prayer.
