For when it had\r\nfirst been stated that \"the angels of God saw the daughters of\r\nmen that they were fair, and they took them wives of all\r\nwhich they chose,\" it was immediately added, \"And the Lord\r\nGod said, My Spirit shall not always strive with these men, for\r\nthat they also are flesh.\" For by the Spirit of God they had\r\nbeen made angels of God, and sons of God; but declining\r\ntowards lower things, they are called men, a name of nature,\r\nnot of grace; and they are called flesh, as deserters of the\r\nSpirit, and by their desertion deserted [by Him]. The Septuagint\r\nindeed calls them both angels of God and sons of\r\nGod, though all the copies do not show this, some having\r\nonly the name \"sons of God.\" And Aquila, whom the Jews\r\nprefer to the other interpreters,<a id=\"FNanchor_212_212\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_212_212\">[212]</a> has translated neither angels\r\nof God nor sons of God, but sons of gods. But both are\r\ncorrect. For they were both sons of God, and thus brothers\r\nof their own fathers, who were children of the same God; and\r\nthey were sons of gods, because begotten by gods, together\r\nwith whom they themselves also were gods, according to that\r\nexpression of the psalm: \"I have said, Ye are gods, and all of\r\nyou are children of the Most High.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_213_213\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_213_213\">[213]</a> For the Septuagint\r\ntranslators are justly believed to have received the Spirit of\r\nprophecy; so that, if they made any alterations under His\r\nauthority, and did not adhere to a strict translation, we could\r\nnot doubt that this was divinely dictated. However, the\r\nHebrew word may be said to be ambiguous, and to be susceptible\r\nof either translation, \"sons of God,\" or \"sons of\r\ngods.\"</p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK FIFTEENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-158"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"720d6663645efc335c6313da10b310ffd56e7462cb2e715a4cf098ecd7fa5d57","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_212_212","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
