Calling The Righteous

Non enim veni in mundum vocare justos... Non enim veni vocare falsos justos, qui erant de justitia sua gloriantes, sicut Pharisaeos, qui ignorantes Dei justitiam, et suam volentes statuere, justitiae Dei non sunt subjecti. Sed illos, qui se peccatores recognoscunt, et gratiae Dei colla submittunt. Quandiu enim justi in oculis suis erunt sapientes, ad fidem converti non poterunt, sed, postquam sua peccata recognoscunt, ipsi idem peccatores, non justi ad fidem vocari poterunt. Anselmus Laudunensis, Enarrationes In Matthaeum, Caput IX Source: Migne PL 162.1331c

I did not come into the world to call the righteous... 1 He did not come into the world to call those falsely righteous, who gloried in their righteousness, like the Pharisees, who ignored the righteousness of God and wished to establish their own, not being subject to the righteousness of God, 2 but those who recognised themselves to be sinners, and who submitted their necks to the grace of God. For while the righteous are wise in their own eyes, they cannot be converted to the faith, but after they recognise their own sins, as sinners and not as righteous men, they can be called to the faith. Anselm of Laon, Commentary On The Gospel of Saint Matthew, Chapter 9 1 Mt 9.13 2 Rom 10.3
