14 passages from patristic writers, Reformers, and church catechisms citing this verse.
§14Those who belong to Christ through faith and Baptism must confess their baptismal faith before men.16 First therefore the Catechism expounds revelation, by which God addresses and gives himself to man, and the faith by which man responds to God (Section One). the profession of faith summarizes the gifts that God gives man: as the Author of all that is good; as Redeemer; and as …
§186From the beginning, the apostolic Church expressed and handed on her faith in brief formulae normative for all.1 But already very early on, the Church also wanted to gather the essential elements of her faith into organic and articulated summaries, intended especially for candidates for Baptism: This synthesis of faith was not made to accord with human opinions, but rather what…
§432The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation,23 so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we…
Continuation of the foregoing argument. Proofs from the writings of St. Paul, and from the words of Our Lord, that Christ and Jesus cannot be considered as distinct beings; neither can it be alleged that the Son of God became man merely in appearance, but that He did so truly and actually. 1. As it has been clearly demonstrated that the Word, who existed in the beginning with G…

If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart. Israel's failure is not God's failure but their own: seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God. Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes. The word of faith is near — in thy mouth and in thy heart. How shall th…
Q. What is God's will for us in the third commandment? A. That we neither blaspheme nor misuse the name of God by cursing, perjury, or unnecessary oaths, nor share in such horrible sins by being silent bystanders. In a word, that we use the holy name of God only with reverence and awe, so that we may properly confess him, pray to him, and praise him in everything we do and say.
The Apostles' Creed, as the Baptismal Symbol; and the Nicene Creed, as the sufficient statement of the Christian faith.
Faith is twofold: dogmatic faith is the soul's assent to revealed truth, while living faith is the confident trust that works through love. Even the mustard seed of faith can move mountains, but faith must be grounded in sound doctrine. Cyril warns against heretics who misuse the name of faith while corrupting its content, and exhorts candidates to hold fast to the Creed as the…
