Background on Didymus the Blind

In his own words on Philippians

  • Philippians 3:3

    The word spirit signifies above all a deeper and mystic meaning in the holy Scriptures. … This construction is supported by [the verse] "We are the circumcision, who serve the Spirit of God and do not trust in the flesh."
