Homilies on Isaiah, Homilia III · §2

Not blasphemy to honor the Spirit’s gifts

Do not stone the preacher for glorifying the Spirit. The seven seek a man to take away their shame — and that man is Jesus, whose name is invoked over every gift of the Spirit.

Latin

Nec quasi blasphemantem me lapidetis dum velim glorificare Spiritum. Mulieres quaerentes quem adsumant apprehendent virum — Christum — ut nomen eius invocetur super eas.
