Augustine of Hippo, on 2Cor 11:14
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
2Cor 11:14 · Douay-Rheims
“And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light.”
On this verse:
“As for the power of darkness, what is it but the power of the devil and his angels, who, after being angels of light, did not use their free will to stand in the truth but by falling from it became darkness? I am not teaching you this; I am advising you to call to mind what you know. So, the human race became subject to this power of darkness by the fall of the first man who was induced by that power to commit sin, and in him we have all fallen.”
