Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia XVI · §1

If the law is spiritual, so are the blessings

If for Paul the law is spiritual, so are the blessings — not only earth’s fruit but the soul’s victory.

Latin

Si Paulo lex spiritalis, et benedictiones spiritales. Non solum terrae fructus sed animae victoria.
