Original: Sola scriptura is sometimes called the formal principle of the Reformation , since it is the source and norm of the material principle , the gospel of Jesus Christ that is received sola fide ( '' through faith alone '' ) sola gratia ( by God 's favor or '' grace alone '' ) .
Simplified: The words '' Sola Scriptura '' , '' Solus Christus '' , '' Sola Gratia '' , '' Sola Fide '' and '' Soli Deo Gloria '' are not English words .
