[QUOTE="Aboulia, post: 1331613, member: 16697"] That part about the filthy rags originally comes from Isaiah, and the proper understanding of "filthy rags" is "menstrual rags" which means in the same manner as woman bleeds which she has very little control over, God's grace operating through people works in the same manner, To those that God made pious, good works come forth naturally, which isn't to the person's credit, all the credit is God's.
