Theological Theses · §1136

God frees from penalty only while correcting foulness by the Spirit

God never frees from penalty without also correcting sin's foulness by repentance and the Spirit.

Christ suffered both to spare due punishment and to make the impious just and holy.

Latin

VIII. Nec enim quenquam Deus a poena liberum pronunciat, quin simul in eo pravitatem peccati corrigat; & foeditatem tollat, per veram poenitentiam efficaciam ac vim Spiritus Sancti. Neque Christus tantum in hunc finem passus est, ut quod nostra peccata justissime merentur supplicium evaderemus, sed etiam ut nos a peccati corruptione vindicaret, & ex impiis ac peccatoribus justos sanctosque coram Deo redderet.
