Cap. IX Arg. 10 Sol cont.: Scripture — Gospel an odor of death from hearers' voluntary rebellion, not from God's primary intention (2 Cor. ii; Heb. ii; Acts xiii; Col. i)
Scripture itself settles Gospel preaching far differently: to some it becomes an odor of death unto death (2 Cor. Ii. 15–16) — not from God's primary intention, but from their voluntary rebellion (Heb. Ii. 3: How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?). s xiii. 38: Remission of sins through Christ is announced to you — and 46: After you put it from you and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life. Col. I. 28: We announce Christ, admonishing and teaching every one, that we may present every one perfect in Christ Jesus.
Latin
Ipsae enim Scripturae de Evangelica praedicatione longe aliter statuunt; fieri nimirum quibusdam odorem mortis ad mortem, 2 Cor. ii. 15, 16. sed non ex primaria Dei intentione, verum ex voluntaria illorum rebellione, Hebr. ii. 3. Quomodo nos effugiemus, si tantam neglexerimus salutem? Actor. xiii. 38. Annunciatur vobis remissio peccatorum per Christum, etc. et 46. Postquam repellitis illam, et indignos vos decernitis vita aeterna. Et Coloss. i. 28. Annunciamus Christum, admonentes quosvis, et quosvis erudientes, ut quosvis sistamus perfectos in Christo Jesu.
