Oecumenius, on Gal 5:19
Oecumenius · c. A.D. 550
Gal 5:19 · Douay-Rheims
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury,”
On this verse:
“"are evident." Therefore he seemed to say: From their own fruits you will recognize the wicked and base society. But "flesh" he speaks of again, of the corrupting imagination and of the earthy and fleshly life. "the works of the flesh." It is therefore clear that by "flesh" he calls the fleshly mindset, that is, the soul's tendency toward worse things; and by "spirit" the given grace. "uncleanness, filthiness." He says unclean and shamelessness, shameful practices of prostitution.”
