Augustine of Hippo, On the Merits and Forgiveness of Sins, and on the Baptism of Infants I.38Book I
“So that he mentioned the inner man as coming into the world, because the outward man is of a corporeal nature, just as this world itself; as if he said, “Which lighteth every man that cometh into the body,” in accordance with that which is written: “I obtained a good spirit, and I came in a body undefiled.”” — editor's note: Wisd. viii. 19, 20.
