Theological Theses · §969

Of works means according to debt—new holiness is free, not owed

Of works = according to debt (Rom 4:4 wage).

New holiness in Christ is free—so we are not sanctified of works.

Latin

XXXVII. Denique quod eodem recidit, ex Apostoli mente, quod est ex operibus, est secundum debitum. Nam, ut ipse ait, Ei qui operatur, merces imputatur, non secundum gratiam, sed secundum debitum. Rom. 4. 4. Jam autem sanctitas & justitia nova, quam in Christo adipiscimur, datur nobis gratuito, non secundum debitum, ut cuivis manifestum est; adeoque certum etiam est ex operibus nos non sanctificari, sanctosque & justos apud Deum effici.
