Правило 45 Василия Великого

Међутим, средњовековни грчки коментатори дају друго објашњење за „увреду“ Христову, о којој говори садашње (45) правило Василија Великог, наиме, да ово правило осуђује оне који не живе по божанским заповестима, већ их преступе и тиме вређају Христа, чије име носе на себи. And this interpretation has its basis. Anyone who bears the name of a Christian, but does not fulfill what Christianity prescribes, and thereby offends Christ, cannot use the grace-filled gifts that the church gives to its faithful, and thus must be considered outside the church. This rule is in a brief form - the 7th moral rule (ηθικός όρος) of Basil the Great, which reads: “even if someone appears to confess the Lord and listen to His word, however, if he does not fulfill His commandments, he must be condemned, despite the fact that by the mercy of the Lord he has received spiritual gifts,” and the relevant passages from Holy Scripture (Matthew 7:21–23; Luke 6:46; Titus 1:16) 92. Basil the Great says the same thing in his interpretation of the prophet Isaiah: “let no one deceive himself with the words: although I am a sinner, I am nevertheless a Christian, and therefore I will not end up in Gehenna, where there are idolaters, for the very name Christian will help me, even if I do not fulfill the заповести Христове“ 93 .
