Pelagius, on Rom 6:23

Pelagius · c. A.D. 354–420

Rom 6:23 · Douay-Rheims

“For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

On this verse:

“One who does military service for sin receives death as his wages. Paul does not use the term "wages of righteousness" because there was no righteousness in us before our baptism which God could repay. Righteousness is not obtained by our effort but is a gift of God.”
