On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §555

Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC — sinner-name needs vice in self or prior act; Paul teaches true sin propagated

Although this is so, yet he can never show from the Scriptures that anyone is called a sinner unless he either has vice in himself, or has certainly committed it before: unless he would say that God makes men guilty without some sin of their own. I confess therefore that those who are punished or oppressed by calamity are called sinners, but not before God, unless they themselves have either committed sin, or have it in themselves: And truly it is manifest that the Apostle is at this in this place, that he may teach that sin has truly been propagated into all humans, not however something which is not sin, but only a consequent of sin.

Latin

Quamvis hoc ita sit, nunquam tamen ostendere potest e Scripturis, quemquam peccatorem appellari, quin aut in seipso vitium habeat, aut certe antea admiserit: nisi dicere velit, Deum homines reos facere, absque ipsorum aliquo peccato. Fateor igitur, qui puniuntur aut calamitate opprimuntur, peccatores dici, sed non apud Deum, nisi peccatum ipsi aut commiserint, aut in se habuerint: Et vero manifestum est Apostolum in eo esse hoc loco, ut doceat vere peccatum esse in omnes homines propagatum, non autem aliquid quod non sit peccatum, sed peccati tantum consequens.
