Vos secundum carnem iudicatis.. Primae ad Corinthios tertio: Cum sit inter vos zelus et contentio, nonne carnales estis et secundum hominem ambulatis? sive iudicatis, quiaipsum purum hominem esse credebant et gloriam suam ut homo quaerere; et ideo eius testimoniumarguebant. Ego autem non iudico quemquam, in praesenti scilicet; supra tertio: Non misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut iudicet mundum. Non iudico, condemnando, sicut vos me modo condemnatis; et hoc non, quia non possim vel nesciam, immo scio et possum; propterea dicit: Et si iudico ego, iudicium meum verum est... Non carnale, non incertum neque secundum faciem; Isaiae undecimo: Non secundum visionem oculorum iudicabit, neque secundum auditum aurium arguet; et ideo in iudicio errare non possum: Quia solus non sum, sed ego et qui misit me Pater. Unde quia in iudicando ab ipso non discedo, ideo non erro; supra quinto: Non possum a me ipso facere quidquam, sed sicut audio, iudico, et iudicium meum iustum est.

You judge according to the flesh.... 1 In the third chapter of the first letter to the Corinthians: 'When there is jealousy and contention among you, are you not carnal creatures and walking according to men?' 2 Or judging so, because they believe themselves to be pure men and as men they seek their own glory, and therefore they dispute His testimony. 'But I do not judge anyone,' that is, in the present. Above in the third chapter: 'God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world.' 3 That is, I do not judge to condemn, as you now condemn me, and not because I cannot or do not know how, for indeed I do know and am able, therefore He says: And if I judge, my judgement is true... 4 Not carnal, not uncertain, not according to appearance. In the eleventh chapter of Isaiah: 'He shall not judge according to the vision of the eyes, nor shall he determine according to the hearing of the ear.' 5 Therefore I cannot err in judgement, 'because it is not me alone, but I and He who sent me, the Father.' Whence because I am not cut off from Him in judgement, therefore I do not err. In the fifth chapter above: 'I cannot do anything from myself, but as I hear so I judge, and my judgement is just.' 6 Saint Bonaventura, Commentary On The Gospel Of Saint John, Chapter 8 1 Jn 8.15 2 1 Cor 3.3 3 Jn 3.17 4 Jn 8.16 5 Isaiah 11.3 6 Jn 5.30 |
