Chapter VIII.672
For, so long as there is not implanted in you any one lust which is able to torment you,
behold, ye live in God. I rejoice in you, and offer supplication673 on account of you, Eph-
esians, a Church which is renowned in all ages. For those who are carnal are not able to do
spiritual things, nor those that are spiritual carnal things; in like manner as neither can faith
[do] those things which are foreign to faith, nor want of faith [do] what belongs to faith.
For those things which ye have done in the flesh, even these are spiritual, because ye have
done everything in Jesus Christ.
672 Chaps. iv. v. vi. vii. of the Greek are totally omitted in the Syriac.
673 Thus Cureton renders the words, referring in confirmation to the Peshito version of Phil. i. 4, but the
meaning is doubtful.
