In Tantum Iustus in Quantum Salvus


...a fav bit of Augustine's De Spiritu et Littera , from HOURS of translation practice today:

"In as much as one is saved, to the same extent one is righteous."

... of course, Augustine (like Paul and Luther) then immediately proceeds to explain how to "become" righteous. Hello, quandry.
