Theophylact of Ohrid, on Jas 5:19

Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
Jas 5:19 · Douay-Rheims
“My brethren, if any of you err from the truth, and one convert him:”
On this verse:
“Jeremiah says the same: "If you bring forth the honorable from the unworthy, you shall be as My mouth" ("and if you extract the precious from the worthless, you shall be as My mouth") (Jer. 15:19), for everyone who proclaims the words of God becomes the mouth of God. For what does He say? "It is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you" (Matt. 10:20). Therefore through David He also forbids the sinner to declare His ordinances (Ps. 50:16).”
