Pelagius, on Rom 7:5
Pelagius · c. A.D. 354–420
Rom 7:5 · Douay-Rheims
“For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.”
On this verse:
“When we were still living carnally the passion of lust worked in our eyes, and the other passions worked in the rest of our bodies. It was the law which showed us that these passions were sinful, and the severity of the law killed us.”
