Letter 164
To the Same Man.
"Flesh and blood," he says, "shall not inherit the kingdom of God" [1 Corinthians 15:50] -- that is, those who are carnal in their manner of life shall be cast out of the kingdom. "But you," he says, "the faithful and the spiritual, are not in the flesh, but in the spirit" [cf. Romans 8:9].

« Σὰρξ καὶ αἷμα, φησίν, βασιλείαν Θεοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσουσι » τουτέστιν, οἱ σαρκικοὶ τὸν τρόπον ὑπάρχοντες ἔξω τῆς βασιλείας ῥιφθήσονται. « Ὑμεῖς δέ, φησίν, οἱ πιστοί, καὶ πνευματικοί, οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σαρκί, ἀλλ’ ἐν πνεύματι. »
