Patristics

All these, therefore, were highly honored, and made great, not for their own sake, or for their own works, or for the righteousness which they wrought, but through the operation of His will. And we, too, being called by His will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but I have faith through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever.” 1 Clement, XXXII, ANF 1:13
