On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §672

Man. Post. Cap. X: PLAC — then only reatus? Show ἁμαρτία used for bare guilt in Scripture

Guilt? Therefore by the sin which lasted in the world until the law, bare guilt alone is to be understood.

Let there be given us, then, some place from the New Testament in which ἁμαρτία is used for bare guilt alone; or at least some place from the Old, where it is so used when God’s judgment is in view.

For why in this place should that word, so frequent, be taken in a sense altogether unused?

This first.

Latin

Reatus? Igitur per peccatum quod usque ad legem duravit in mundo, solus reatus intelligendus est. Detur igitur nobis locus aliquis e Novo Testamento in quo ἁμαρτία pro solo reatu usurpetur; aut detur saltem aliquis e Veteri, ubi sic usurpetur, cum de Dei iudicio agitur. Cur enim hoc loco vox illa, tam frequens, acciperetur sensu prorsus inusitato? Hoc primum.
