For whereas he was saying, \"he eateth judgment to himself,\" and, \"he is guilty;\" that he might not seem to speak mere words, he points to deeds also and calls themselves to witness; a kind of thing which comes home to men more than threatening, by showing that the threat has issued in some real fact. He was not however content with these things alone, but from these he also introduced and confirmed the argument concerning hell-fire, terrifying them in both ways; and solving an inquiry which is handled everywhere. I mean, since many question one with another, \"whence arise the untimely deaths, whence the long diseases of men;\" he tells them that these unexpected events are many of them conditional upon certain sins. \"What then? They who are in continual health,\" say you, \"and come to a green old age, do they not sin?\" Nay, who durst say this? \"How then,\" say you, \"do they not suffer punishment?\" Because there they shall suffer a severer one. But we, if we would, neither here nor there need suffer it.<br/><i>— Homily on 1 Corinthians 28</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"6724b874f3f495ae10c4de88d422eee5af1d17f274966c680ba6354e02da1948","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":120,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"d3b6fbbb3586c39a33245a9beb9e7dbcea8606359f847771ae6955d542e09ab0","translator":null,"work":null}
