Theological Theses · §1135

Remission is not bare penalty-relaxation while we stay unrenewed

Cross-remission is not a prince's bare stay of punishment while the sinner stays inwardly unchanged.

Latin

VII. Sed Christus non simpliciter morte sua nos praestat a peccato immunes. Neque putandum est Deum, quum nobis peccata propter Christum remittit, solummodo poenam peccati relaxare, dum peccatores interim, sicut antea, in nobis remanemus: quemadmodum Principes terreni dicuntur facinoroso crimina remittere, quum illum justo alioquin supplicio eximunt, etiamsi per id nihil interius immutetur, sed maneat talis qualis antea erat.
