Augustine of Hippo, The City of God XX.10Book XX
“…and not to souls, because bodies fall, why do they make nothing of the words, “Ye that fear the Lord, wait for His mercy; and go not aside lest ye fall;” and “To his own Master he stands or falls;” and “He that thinketh he standeth, let him take heed lest he fall?”” — editor's note: Ecclus. ii. 7.
