Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Verwijst in de theologie naar datgene wat iemand verdient door handelingen en waarmee deze persoon recht heeft op beloning. In het boeddhisme wordt verdienste verworven door middel van deugdzame daden die tot beloning in het huidige leven of volgende levens leiden; in het christendom kan verdienste uit goede werken leiden tot spirituele beloningen van God in het hiernamaals.
