Толкование на группу стихов: Иез: 16: 20-20
LUST IS SINFUL. AUGUSTINE: By the name of such adulterers we are to understand every kind of carnal and lustful concupiscence. Indeed, since the Scriptures so constantly give to idolatry the name of fornication, and since the apostle Paul calls avarice idolatry,who can doubt that every evil concupiscence may be rightly called fornication? SERMON ON THE MOUNT 1.12.36.
THE SOUL CAN BE CORRUPTED. AUGUSTINE: When the soul disregards the higher law by which it is governed and prostitutes itself as though for a price, then it corrupts itself. SERMON ON THE MOUNT 1.12.36.
