For “are not all things lawful\r\nto me? yet I will not be brought under the power of any,”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1296\" id=\"FNanchor_1296\">[1296]</a> so as\r\nto do, or think, or speak aught contrary to the gospel. “Meats for the\r\nbelly, and the belly for meats, which God shall destroy,”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1297\" id=\"FNanchor_1297\">[1297]</a>—that\r\nis, such as think and live as if they were made for eating, and do\r\nnot eat that they may live as a consequence, and apply to knowledge\r\nas the primary end. And does he not say that these are, as it were,\r\nthe fleshy parts of the holy body? As a body, the church of the Lord,\r\nthe spiritual and holy choir, is symbolized. Whence those, who are\r\nmerely called, but do not live in accordance with the word, are the\r\nfleshy parts. “Now” this spiritual “body,” the holy Church, “is not\r\nfor fornication.” Nor are those things which belong to heathen life to\r\nbe adopted by apostasy from the gospel. For he who conducts himself\r\nheathenishly in the Church, whether in deed, or word, or even in\r\nthought, commits fornication with reference to the Church and his own\r\nbody. He who in this way “is joined to the harlot,” that is, to conduct\r\ncontrary to the Covenant, becomes another “body,” not holy, “and one\r\nflesh,” and has a heathenish life and another hope. “But he that is\r\njoined to the Lord in<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_472\">[472]</span> spirit” becomes a spiritual body by a different\r\nkind of conjunction.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK VII.","CHAPTER XIV.
