Fathers and councils · 4

John Cassian

  • “And if this was not in our power the Lord would not have rebuked the Pharisees, saying “Why do ye think evil in your hearts?” nor would He have given this charge by the prophet, saying: “Take away the evil of your thoughts from mine eyes;” and “How long shall wicked thoughts remain in you?”” — editor's note: Is. i. 16; Jer. iv. 14.

  • “What is it that the Lord commands, where He says: “Wash thine heart of iniquity, O Jerusalem, that thou mayest be saved,” and what is it that the prophet asks for from the Lord, when he says “Create in me a clean heart, O God,” and again: “Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow?”” — editor's note: Jer. iv. 14.
