Pelagius, on Rom 3:13

Pelagius · c. A.D. 354–420
Rom 3:13 · Douay-Rheims
“Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.”
On this verse:
“The stench of their teaching and flattery contaminates and kills those who listen. This is why a grave is carefully sealed, so that it does not continue to breed disease among the living by its odor. They express one thing with their mouths but another with their hearts. The venom of asps is mentioned because it is supposed to be the most harmful.”
