  that not of yourselves it is the gift of God
  Not of works, lest any man should
  boast."Ephesians 28-9 (KJV).

• Sola Fide (Faith alone)
• "But that no man is justified by the law in the
  sight of God, it is evident for the just shall
  live by faith."Galatians 311 (KJV).
• "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed
  from faith to faith as it is written. The just
  shall live by faith."Romans 117 (KJV)

• Solus Christus (Christ alone)
• For there is one God, and one mediator between
  God and men, the man Christ Jesus"1 Timothy 25
  (KJV).

• Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone)
• "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,
  and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
  correction, for instruction in righteousness
  That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
  furnished unto all good works."2 Timothy 316-17
  (KJV).

11

• Soli Deo Gloria (To the glory of God alone)
• If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of
  God if any man minister, let him do it as of the
  ability which God giveth that God in all things
  may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be
  praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen."1
  Peter 411 (KJV).
