On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §500

Man. Post. Cap. IX: GAR — justification scope prefers Adam's actual

GAR. Since the Apostle here treats the cause of justification, not of sanctification, it is no wonder if from his primary intention he wished here rather to look at Adam's actual sin than at that corruption that remains, since the sin committed by Adam, and the guilt that follows from it, answers to the righteousness of Christ, and to our justification through it: but internal corruption answers not properly to that righteousness of Christ, but rather to the holiness remaining in us through the Holy Spirit. Which corruption, although here also because of that connection we have named it can be comprehended, yet does not directly regard the Apostolic aim, as in what follows Paul will treat of it openly.

Latin

GAR. Cum causam justificationis, non sanctificationis hic tractet Apostolus, nihil mirum est, si ex primaria sua intentione hic potius peccatum actuale Adami, quam corruptionem illam inhaerentem spectare voluerit, cum peccatum ab Adamo patratum, reatus ex illo consequens, respondeat justitiae Christi, & justificationi per eam nostrae: corruptio vero interna, non illi Christi justitiae proprie, sed potius inhaerenti per Spiritum Sanctum in nobis sanctitati respondeat. Qua corruptio quanquam hic etiam propter illam quam diximus connexionem comprehendi potest, non tamen Apostolicum scopum directe respicit, sicut in sequentibus de illa aperte agetur a Paulo.
