Fastidius, on Ezek 18:23
Fastidius · c. A.D. 420
Ezek 18:23 · Douay-Rheims
“Is it my will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways, and live?”
On this verse:
“See, then, how God instructs and incites you, so that you may be converted from your sins, late though it is, and come to salvation. See how he exhorts you, doomed to death as you are, so that you may live; and with what sweetness and gentle compassion he cajoles you, so that he does not deny a father's love even to the sinner.”
