CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT.On the sin of the human being.
Thus far concerning the state after the fall and liberty: next follows sin.Sin is the transgression of the divine law, or a falling short from Gods law as the norm of uprightness (1 John 3:4; Romans 4:15).II.And it is either the first or arising from the first.III.The FIRST is the transgression of the law concerning not eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, committed by the first parents in paradise (Genesis 3).This sin is called originating sin, because from it original sin in posterity and all actual sins took their rise.
Latin
CAPUT TRIGESIMUM OCTAVUM, De hominis peccato. HActenus de statu post lapsum et libertate: sequitur peccatum. Peccatum est transgressio legis divinae, seu defectus a lege Dei tanquam norma rectitudinis (1 Ioh. 3:4; Rom. 4:15). II. Estque primum aut a primo ortum. III. PRIMUM est transgressio legis de non comedendo de arbore scientiae boni et mali, a protoplastis in paradiso commissa (Gen. 3). Hoc peccatum vocatur peccatum originans, quia ab eo ortum duxit peccatum originale in posteris et omnia actualia.
