Homilies on Numbers, Homilia VIII · §3

Christ our advocate

As John writes: I write this that you may not sin; and if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, who intercedes for our sins. To him be glory forever. Amen.

Latin

Sicut Iohannes dicit: haec scribo ut non peccetis; et si quis peccaverit, habemus advocatum apud Patrem Iesum Christum iustum, qui interpellat pro peccatis nostris. Ipsi gloria in aeterna saecula. Amen.
