Shepherd of Hermas, on 1Cor 7:35
Shepherd of Hermas · c. A.D. 160
1Cor 7:35 · Douay-Rheims
“And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment.”
On this verse:
“When anger comes upon you, or harshness, know that he is in you; and you will know this to be the case also, when you are attacked by a longing after many transactions, and the richest delicacies, and drunken revels, and divers luxuries, and things improper, and by a hankering after women, and by overreaching, and pride, and blustering, and by whatever is like to these.”
