That too great lust of food is not to be desired.
In Isaiah: “Let us eat and drink, for
to-morrow we shall die. This sin shall not be remitted to you
even until ye die.”
4495
Also in Exodus: “And
the people sate down to eat and drink, and rose up to
play.”
4496
Paul, in
the first to the Corinthians: “Meat commendeth us not to
God; neither if we eat shall we abound, nor if we eat not shall we
want.”
4497
And
again: “When ye come together to eat, wait one for
another. If any is hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not
come together for judgment.”
4498
Also to the Romans:
“The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and
peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
4499
In the Gospel according to
John: “I have meat which ye know not of. My meat is,
that I should do His will who sent me, and should finish His
work.”
