On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §688

Man. Post. Cap. X tip — we are punished for Adam’s sin via propagated corruption, not immediately

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

In Adam’s posterity God saw all the malice of Adam’s disobedience, hereditary corruption—that is, unbelief, habitual enmity against God, opposition to the law of nature, and the like—and likewise sentenced like evils to like penalties.

For the law of nature demands that it go equally ill with equal evils.

We are therefore punished on account of Adam’s sin, but through the mediation of propagated corruption; those penalties are not immediate.

Latin

Vidit in posteris Adami Deus malitiam omnem inobedientiae Adami, corruptionem haereditariam, hoc est, incredulitatem, inimicitiam habitualem adversus Deum, legi naturae repugnantiam &c., similiter malis similibus poenis addixit. Flagitat enim naturae lex, ut pariter malis, pariter male sit. Punimur ergo propter peccatum Adami, sed mediante corruptione propagata, non immediate sunt illae poenae.
