Doctrinal Treatises of St. Augustin — The Enchiridion. — Chapter 51 (St. Augustine)

Chapter 51.—All Men Born of Adam are Under Condemnation, and Only If New Born in Christ are Freed from All Men Born of Adam are Under Condemnation, and Only If New Born in Christ are Freed from Condemnation. 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.
