Homilies on Ezekiel, Homilia II · §1

Scripture names every kind of sin to heal

Scripture hides no species of sin; the Word sent to heal names them all. True prophets minister God’s words; false prophets are teachers whose talk or life denies the discipline they preach.

Latin

Nullam speciem peccatorum Scriptura reticeat. Verbum Dei missum ad sanandos omnem speciem perstringit. Sicut de populo et sacerdotibus et dispensatoribus, ita de veris et falsis prophetis — pseudo-prophetae magistri ecclesiarum non recte sermone vel vita.
