Patristic A.D. 430

Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430

“For, if you take away the Spirit, how does the law avail? It makes a prevaricator. On that account the Scripture says: "The letter kills." The law orders and you do not obey.… Something is commanded, and you do not do it; something is forbidden, and you do it. Behold, "the letter kills."”
