“Whether the Remission of Sins Ought to Be Reckoned Amongst the Things Required for Justification?
Objection 1: It would seem that the remission of sins ought not to be reckoned amongst the things required for justification. For the substance of a thing is not reckoned together with those that are required for a thing; thus a man is not reckoned together with his body and soul. But the justification of the ungodly is itself the remission of sins, as stated above (A. 1) . Therefore the remission of sins ought not to be reckoned among the things required for the justification of the ungodly.”
