To Florus 2.162
The apostle therefore established that it was not written only for Abraham’s sake that faith was reckoned to him as righteousness (Romans 4:23), but also for ours. It is undoubtedly reckoned to us when we believe in God, who raised Jesus Christ from the dead: ‘Who was handed over,’ he says, ‘because of our offenses and rose because of our justification’ (Romans 4:24–25).
Latin
Approbavit ergo Apostolus, quia non sit tantummodo scriptum propter Abraham, quod reputatum est illi ad iustitiam [n236] , sed et propter nos, quibus sine dubio reputatur, cum in Deum credimus, qui Iesum Christum ex mortuis excitavit, qui traditus est - inquit - propter delicta nostra et resurrexit propter iustificationem nostram [n237] .
