CommentJohn ChrysostomPublic domainJohn 8:21–24

For if He came in order to take away sin, and a man cannot put that off, except by washing, and cannot be baptized except he believe; it follows, that he who believes not must pass out of this life, with the old man, i. e. sin, within him: not only because he believes not, but because he departs hence, with his former sins upon him.

Reproduced in full. Translation: Oxford 1841 (Newman), public domain (Public domain).
