Letter 179
To the Same Person.
When through endurance and prayer we receive the gift from above, then we are able to drive off the invisible barbarians [the demons], and they shall fall trembling beneath our feet. For a certain prophet also says that "Those whom at first you feared shall fear you."

Latin / Greek Original
Ὅταν δι' ὑπομονῆς καὶ εὐχῆς λάβωμεν τὴν ἄνωθεν δωρεάν, τότε διῶξαι δυνάμεθα τοὺς ἀοράτους βαρβάρους, καὶ πεσοῦνται τρόμῳ ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας ἡμῶν. Φησὶ γὰρ καί τις προφήτης, ὅτι « Οὗσπερ τὸ πρῶτον ἐφοβεῖσθε, φοβήθήσονται ὑμᾶς. »
