For our God is a lover of mankind, and \"will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.\" Wherefore \"He makes His sun to rise upon the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust; \" of whose kindness the Lord, wishing us also to be imitators, says, \"Be ye perfect, even as also your Father that is in heaven is perfect.\"<br/><i>— Epistle of Ignatius to the Philadelphians</i></p><p><b>Tertullian</b>: In what way? \"Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles.\" Concupiscence, however, is not ascribed to marriage even among the Gentiles, but to extravagant, unnatural, and enormous sins.<br/><i>— Against Marcion Book V</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"7f75fc04ff262e2de3aeba11b74469e02106e6a3ba82ffff404da8454e262c50","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":1563,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"fce09cd533e3a79aa54c9370320cc2bc704f87039a992eeb4a4bc7726aed4c46","translator":null,"work":null}
