Cyril of Alexandria: Fragments on Matthew · §188

Matthew 18:1

We especially reckon the kingdom of the heavens even in the present, and we say it is either the calling in sanctification or the measure in faith and holiness. For the Savior also hints at something of the sort when he says, “The kingdom of the heavens is within you.”

Greek

Οὔπω τὸ τοῦ κυρίου κατέμαθον ἀξίωμα, ὅτι θεός ἐστιν, ἀλλ' ἄν θρωπον ἐνόμιζον αὐτὸν ψιλόν· διὸ καὶ τῷ θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ τὴν δόξαν ἀνέπεμπον.
