Background on Callistus I of Rome

In his own words on John

  • John 8:11

    Man, therefore, is cleansed of his sin, and rises again by the grace of God though he has fallen, and abides in his first position, according to the above-cited authorities. Let him see to it that he sin no more, that the sentence of the Gospel may abide in him: "Go, and sin no more."

    EPISTLE 2:6
