Or as holy David cries out, “Behold, I was shapen in wickedness, and in sin hath my mother conceived me.” (John 3: 6. Job 14: 4; 25: 4. Ps. 51: 5.) No one is born into the world without sin; or can rid himself of the sin of his birth except by a second birth through the Spirit.
Il santo Davide grida: « Pietà di me, poiché nella colpa sono nato, e nel peccato mi ha concepito mia madre » (Sal. 51, 7).
