Eph 2: created in Christ for good works

Eph 2: made alive with Christ, saved by grace through faith, not of works; God's workmanship created for good works.

Grace both pardons and newly creates so we live justly afterward.

Latin

XXII. Quo respiciens idem Apostolus, Eph. 2. dicit nos Christo convivificatos, & servatos esse gratia per fidem; non ex operibus, ne quis glorietur. Quoniam sumus Dei opus, sive factura, creati in Christo Jesu ad opera bona, quae praeparavit Deus ut in illis am-bulemus. Ubi docet nos a peccatis nostris servari, seu liberari, non vi & merito operum nostrorum, sed per gratiam illam qua Deus non solum nobis peccata condonat, sed nos etiam virtute Spiritus Sancti quasi de novo creat, ut novi homines facti, deinceps pie & juste vivamus, & studeamus operibus bonis.
