On Pascha · §1.69

From the lambs and the goats

Those then who are perfect and already straining to be without sin will eat from the lambs, since Christ is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. But those still lying under sin will take from the kids, since the kid is said according to the law to be offered as a victim for sin.

Greek

Οἱ <μὲν> οὖν τέλειοι καὶ ἤδη ἀναμάρτητοι βιαζόμενοι εἶναι ἀπὸ τῶν ἀμνῶν φάγονται, ἐπεὶ ὁ X(ριστό)ς ἐστιν ὁ ἀμνὸς τοῦ θ(εο)ῦ ὁ αἴρων τὴν ἁμαρτίαν τοῦ κόσμου, οἱ δὲ ὑπὸ ἁμαρτί]αν ἔτι [κε]ί[μενοι] ἀπ[ὸ τῶν ἐρ]ίφων [λήψοντ]αι, ἐπ[εὶ ὁ ἔρι]φος ἀναφέρεσθαι σ[φάγιον π]ερὶ ἁμαρ[τ]ίας εἴρητ[αι κα]τ[ὰ] τ[ὸ]ν νόμον.
