Theological Theses · §935

Man justifying himself: asserting innocence

Same forensic sense when a man justifies himself—asserts innocence or claims righteousness.

Lk 10 lawyer; Lk 16 Pharisees who justify themselves before men.

Latin

III. Eodem sensu sumitur verbum justificandi, ubi dicitur homo seipsum justificare, quando vel suam innocentiam asserit, vel suam justitiam vendicat. Ut quum apud Lucam, cap. 10. Legisperitus quidam volens justificare seipsum, dixit ad Jesum, Quis est proximus meus. Et quum in eodem libro, cap. 16. sic increpat Christus Pharisaeos, Vos estis qui justificatis vos coram hominibus, Deus autem novit corda vestra.
