Pelagius, on Rom 8:8

Pelagius · c. A.D. 354–420
Rom 8:8 · Douay-Rheims
“And they who are in the flesh, cannot please God.”
On this verse:
“This proves that Paul did not find fault with the flesh itself but with the works of the flesh, because those to whom he was writing were undoubtedly living in the flesh in the physical sense. Once one has given himself over to the flesh (in the spiritual sense) it is impossible to avoid sin.”
