Dominum Deum tuum adorabis et illi soli servies. (Matthew 4:10) |
| Topics: |
| Original: |
Primo pro prima religiositate que honorans nuncupatur, Dominus ait: “Dominum Deum tuum adorabis et illi soli servies” […]. Quedam pertinent ad divinam potentiam, quedam ad divinam sapientiam, quedam ad divinam clementiam […].
Nam primo ad potentiam pertinet illud “Dominum”; secundo ad sapientiam illud quod dicitur “Deum”, Deus enim “videns” interpretatur, et ideo Dei sapientia aperte demonstratur; tertio ad clementiam pertinere videtur quod dicitur “tuum”, quia ipse Deus ex charitate sua factus est noster. |
| Translation: |
With regard to the first form of religious practice, called honoring, the Lord says: “You shall worship the Lord your God and serve him alone” […]. Certain elements pertain to divine power, others to divine wisdom, others to divine clemency […].
First, the word “Lord” pertains to power;
second, the word “God” pertains to wisdom (because “God” is interpreted as “the one who sees,” and thus God’s wisdom is clearly manifested);
third, the word “your” pertains to clemency, because God, through his charity, has made himself ours.
