Письмо XLI. Тому же

Whoever has realized that the Spirit takes everything captive into Christ and knows how to reap benefit from everything - so you are from me, who is completely alienated from God's grace and strongly subject to the laws of the flesh. And since there is nothing good in me, I should have completely refused to visit you, so as not to cause further harm by carrying out your order. And I will come when the Lord pleases, and I will know that you will remain blameless and undefiled, even when communicating with me, a worldly person. After all, acquired holiness, like natural holiness, will not be desecrated by any unclean person. And as for the Vestitor's wife, do good with compassion, unless there is harm in it, and especially if you know that he can support her. You might be interested in:
