Gregory of Nyssa, on Ps 18:12
Gregory of Nyssa · c. A.D. 335–395
Ps 18:12 · Douay-Rheims
“For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.”
On this verse:
“So wicked and hard to cure and strong are those things possessed in the depths of our souls that it is not possible to rub them out and to remove them through human efforts and virtue alone unless through prayer we take the power of the Spirit as an ally and, in this way, conquer the evil that is playing the tyrant within us, as the Spirit teaches us through the voice of David: "Cleanse me from my unknown faults."”
