Theological Theses · §207

Roman consensus — all needed for eternal salvation in Scripture explicitly or in seed

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

Roman doctors do not all speak alike here — some seem to grant Scripture more, some less.

Yet they all agree: everything necessarily required for eternal salvation is in sacred Scripture explicitly or implicitly, expressly or by virtue, and as in seed — if Scripture is read in the sense the Holy Spirit intends.

Latin

VII. Et quamvis in hac quaestione omnes Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae non eodem modo loquantur, sed alii plus, & alii minus Scripturae videantur hac in re tribuere; in eo tamen omnes conveniunt, omnia quae sunt ad aeternam salutem necessario requisita, in Scriptura sacra contineri explicite, vel implicite, expresse vel virtute, & tanquam in semine, si ad eum sensum Scripturae investigantur quem intendit Spiritus sanctus.
