Theological Theses · §1046

Scripture names them just before God himself

Because Scripture is God's voice, those it names just from inherent righteousness are truly such before God, not only before men.

Luke 1:6: Zechariah and Elizabeth were just before God.

Latin

XII. Quandoquidem autem Scriptura Dei vox est, ex eo quod fideles a justitia ipsis inhaerente sanctos & justos denominat, certum est illos tales apud Deum cen-seri, & revera sanctos atque justos esse, non solum coram hominibus, & eorum opinione; sed etiam Dei ipsius judicio. Id docet manifeste Lucas, dum de Zacha-ria atque Elizabeth parentibus Joannis Baptistae testatur Ambos illos fuisse justos in conspectu Dei, incedentes in omnibus praeceptis & constitutionibus Domini inculpate, Luc. 1. 6.
