Augustine of Hippo, on Rom 8:13
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Rom 8:13 · Douay-Rheims
“For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.”
On this verse:
“That we should mortify the deeds of the flesh by the Spirit is required of us, but that we may live is offered to us.… Shall we therefore agree to say that the mortification of the flesh is not a gift of God and not confess it to be a gift of God, since we hear that it is required of us, with life offered as a reward to us if we have done it?”
