Heidelberg Catechism
Question 114. Can those who are converted to God keep these Commandments perfectly?
Answer. No, but even the holiest men, while in this life, have only a small beginning of such obedience,[1] yet so that with earnest purpose they begin to live not only according to some, but according to all the Commandments of God.[2]
