Through Faith

 We are not said to be justified ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ (on account of faith) but ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ (through faith).

—Puritan Thomas Manton, Works 13:478

Faith is said to justify, because without it we cannot apprehend the righteousness of Christ; as the hand may be said to feed and nourish the body, but the nutritive virtue is not in the hand, but in the meat. —Puritan Thomas Manton, Works 13:477
