Augustine of Hippo, on Titus 1:15
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Titus 1:15 · Douay-Rheims
“All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.”
On this verse:
“Those likewise are to be detested who deny that our Lord Jesus Christ had Mary as his mother on earth. That dispensation did honor to both sexes male and female and showed that both had a part in God's care; not only that which he assumed but that also through which he assumed it, being a man born of a woman.… Nor should our faith be lessened by any reference to "a woman's internal organs," as if it might appear that we must reject any such generation of our Lord because sordid people think that sordid. "The foolishness of God is wiser than men"; and "to the pure all things are pure."”
