Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia XI · §1

Be holy for I am holy

Be holy, for I am holy. In Scripture “holy” names not only persons but places and vessels. Learn the name’s force to do its work.

Latin

Sancti estote quia ego sanctus. Nomen sancti in scripturis non solum homines sed loca et vasa. Disce vim nominis ut opus impleas.
