To Byrillus the Macedonian.

How do you dare to address the Holy Spirit as a slave -- the Spirit which, through undefiled baptism, sets free all who believe? For the Apostle says: "The law of the Spirit of life has freed me from the law of sin and of death." [Romans 8:2]

Latin / Greek Original

Πῶς τολμᾷς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον δοῦλον προσαγορεύειν;
ἀγορεύειν, τὸ διὰ τοῦ ἀσπίλου βαπτίσματος πάντα
τοὺς πιστεύοντας ἐλευθεροῦν; Λέγει γὰρ ὁ Ἀπόστο-
λος, ὅπερ «Ὁ νόμος τοῦ Πνεύματος τῆς ζωῆς ἠλευ-
θέρωσέ με ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τῆς ἁμαρτίας, καὶ τοῦ
θανάτου.»
