Augustine of Hippo, on Rom 5:13
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Rom 5:13 · Douay-Rheims
“For until the law sin was in the world; but sin was not imputed, when the law was not.”
On this verse:
“Paul said this in opposition to those who thought that sin could be taken away through the law. He says that sins were made apparent by the law, not abolished. He says not that there was no sin but only that it was not counted. Once the law was given, sin was not taken away, but it began to be counted.”
