The Enchiridion 51

sant'Agostino d'Ippona (354–430 d.C.) · De fide spe et charitate · PL 40, 230–290

51 All Men Born of Adam are Under Condemnation, and Only If New Born in Christ are Freed from Condemnation PL 40, 256

But what he says a little after, “Therefore, as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life,” shows clearly enough that there is no one born of Adam but is subject to condemnation, and that no one, unless he be new born in Christ, is freed from condemnation.

A damnatione Adae nemo liberatus nisi in Christo renatus. Verumtamen quod paulo post dicit, Sicut per unius delictum in omnes homines ad condemnationem, ita et per unius justitiam in omnes homines ad justificationem vitae ; satis indicat, ex Adam neminem natum nisi damnatione detineri, et neminem nisi in Christo renatum a damnatione liberari.
