1 Corinthians 5:6 Douay-Rheims

Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump?

Tertullian

c. A.D. 150–220 Patristic

Are women who think that, in furnishing to their neighbour that which is demanded of beauty, they are furnishing it to themselves also, to augment that (beauty) when (naturally) given them, and to strive after it when not (thus) given? Some one will say, "Why, then, if voluptuousness be shut out and chastity let in, may (we) not enjoy the praise of beauty alone, and glory in a bodily good? "Let whoever finds pleasure in "glorying in the flesh" see to that.
