Chapter 5: On the state of the soul separated from the body; death as judgment on Adam's posterity
CHAPTER FIVE. On the state of the soul separated from the body.
Hitherto there has been discussion of the immortality of the soul: there follows its separation from the body, which by the just judgment of God awaits all Adam's posterity — rich as well as poor, those conspicuous for piety as well as the impious and wicked: whence a new state of the soul arises, which is commonly called the state of separation.
For from the time when the first parents, to whom it had been said by God, On whatever day you eat of this fruit, you shall die the death, violated God's commandment, they drew upon themselves not only the necessity of dying, but also upon all their posterity, as the Apostle witnesses (Romans 5:12 and 6:23 and 1 Corinthians 15:22 and 36). With which Wisdom of Solomon 1:13 and 2:24 agree. An example is Luke 16:22.
Hence the Council of Milevis pronounces anathema (canon 1) against the Pelagians who say that a human being goes out from the body not by the desert of sin but by necessity of nature. And the Second Council of Orange (canon 2) strikes with anathema those who deny that the death of the body is the punishment of sin.
Latin
CAPUT QUINTUM, De statu animae a corpore separata. Hucusque fuit de animae immortalitate: sequitur illius a corpore separatio, quae justo Dei judicio manet omnes Adae posteros, tam divites quam pauperes, tam pietate conspicuos quam impios & sceleratos: unde novus animae status exoritur, qui separationis vulgo dicitur. Nam ex quo primi parentes, quibus a Deo dictum erat, Quocunque die comederis de fructu hoc, morte morieris, mandatum Dei violarunt, non tantum sibi moriendi necessitatem attraxerunt, sed & posteris universis, ut testatur Apostolus Rom. 5.12. & 6.23. & 1.Cor. 15.22. & 36. Quibus consentit Sap. 1.13. & 2.24. Exemplum est Luc. 16.22. Hinc concilium Milevitanum anathema dicit can. 1. Pelagianis dicentibus, hominem de corpore exire non peccati merito, sed necessitate naturae. Et Arausicanum 2. can. 2. anathemate ferit eos, qui negant mortem corporis esse poenam peccati.
