1216:1
2i. Homo Dei signaculum et imago, in pænam su perbice, per mortem fit terra et cinis. — Hominem quippe Dominus, quem ad suam similitudinem condidit, quasi quoddam suae potentiae signaculum fecit. Quod tamen ut lutum restituetur, quia licet æterna supplicia per conversionem fugiat, in ultione tamen perpetratae superbiae carnis morte damnatur. Ex luto quippe homo conditus, et mentis accepta ratione, similitudine divinæ imaginis decoratus, elatione cordis intumescens, quod de infimis formatus esset oblitus est. Unde mira conditoris justitia actum est ut quia per sensum intumuit, quem rationabilem accepit, rursus terra per mortem Geret, quam esse se considerare humiliter noluit;
二十一。人是神的印記與肖像，因驕傲受罰，藉死亡歸於塵土與灰燼。——因為主造人，按祂自己的樣式塑造他，彷彿造成祂大能的某種印記。然而這印記將被還原為泥土，因為人雖藉悔改逃脫永刑，卻仍為所犯的驕傲之罪受懲，被定入肉體的死亡。因為人由泥土造成，心思領受了理性的恩賜，得神聖肖像的樣式為裝飾，卻因心中的高舉而膨脹，忘記了自己是從至卑之物受造。因此，藉造物主奇妙的公義，成就了這事：既然人因所領受的理性之官能而膨脹，就當再藉死亡歸於塵土——那塵土正是他不肯謙卑地承認自己所是的；
21. Man, the seal and image of God, in punishment for his pride, becomes earth and ashes through death. — For the Lord made man, whom He fashioned after His own likeness, as it were a certain seal of His own power. Yet this seal shall be restored to clay, because, although through conversion he escapes eternal torments, still, in vengeance for the pride he has committed, he is condemned to the death of the flesh. For man, fashioned from clay and endowed with the gift of reason in his mind, adorned with the likeness of the divine image, swelling up in the elation of his heart, forgot that he had been formed from the lowest things. Whence by the wondrous justice of the Creator it came about that, because he swelled up through the sense which he had received as rational, he should again become earth through death — that earth which he refused humbly to consider himself to be;
1216:2
et quia peccando Dei similitudinem perdidit, moriendo vero ad limi sui materiam redit, recte dicitur: Restituetur ut lutumsignaculum. Et quia de corpore dum spiritus vocatur, quodam quasi involucro suae carnis exuitur, 927 apte de eodem luto subjungitur: Et stabit sicut, vestimentum. Lutum namque nostrum sicut vestimentum stare est usque ad resurrectionis tempus inane exutumque perdurare. Sed quia hanc poenam superbiae nec iUi transeunt, qui et eamdem suporbiam vivendo humiliter vincunt; quae sit super bientium specialis pœna, subjungit dicens:
又因人犯罪失去了神的樣式，卻藉死亡歸回自身泥淖的質料，故正確地說：這印記必如泥土被還原。又因當靈魂從身體被召喚而出時，人彷彿脫去了肉體的某種包裹，故關於這同一泥土恰當地補充說：它必如衣裳站立。因為我們的泥土如衣裳站立，就是空虛地、被脫下地存留，直到復活之時。但既然連那些藉謙卑度日而勝過驕傲的人也不能免於這驕傲之罰，他便補充，說明驕傲者所受的特別刑罰，說道：
and because by sinning he lost the likeness of God, but by dying returns to the matter of his own mire, it is rightly said: The seal shall be restored as clay. And because, when the spirit is called forth from the body, man is stripped as it were of a certain wrapping of his flesh, it is fittingly added concerning the same clay: And it shall stand as a garment. For our clay to stand as a garment is to endure empty and stripped off until the time of the resurrection. But since not even those pass free from this punishment of pride who overcome that same pride by living humbly, he adds, telling what is the special punishment of the proud, saying:
