Partaking Of The Resurrection

Qui traditus est propter peccata nostra, et surrexit propter justificationem nostram. Mors Christi et significat, et exigit mortificationem veteris hominis nostri, et resurrectionem ad justitiam. Propter quod implacabiliter exosum habere debet homo peccatum suum, propter quod scit traditum esse Dominum suum. Nemo ergo fidem quam habet in eum, arbitretur sibi reputandam ad justitiam, nisi depostio veteri homine cum actibus suis, et novo induto, conformem et comparticipem se fecerit mortis ejus et resurrectionis. Alioqui nulla conventio injustitiae ad justitiam. Guillelmus S Theodorici Abbas, Expositio In Epistolam Ad Romanos, Lib II Source: Migne PG 180.590a

He who given over for our sins and rose for our justification. 1 The death of Christ both signifies and demands the mortification of our old man and the resurrection to righteousness. Because of which a man should have implacable hatred for his own sin, because of which he knows that the Lord was given over. Therefore no one has faith in Him that shall be reckoned to him as righteousness, 2 unless he casts off the old man with his deeds and puts on the new, and makes himself conform and be a participant in His death and resurrection. 3 Certainly there is no agreement between unrighteousness and righteousness. 4 William of St Thierry, Commentary on Romans, Book 2 1 Rom 4.25 2 Gen 15.6, Rom 4.22 3 Ephes 4.22-24 4 2 Cor 6.14
