Background on Fulgentius of Ruspe

In his own words on Galatians

  • Galatians 3:22

    Law without grace, then, can expose disease but cannot heal. It can reveal the wounds but does not administer the remedy. But so that the law's precepts may be fulfilled, grace provides assistance within.

    ON THE TRUTH OF PREDESTINATION 1.41

  • Galatians 5:6

    If anyone, holding the faith that works through love, repents of his former sin in such as a way that he from then on turns his back on it, he will be guiltless of the blasphemy that is spoken against the Holy Spirit [namely, impenitence], which is not forgiven to the speaker either in this age or in the one to come.

    ON THE REMISSION OF SINS 1.24.1

  • Galatians 5:21

    Since God is righteous, such people do not obtain the kingdom of heaven so long as they do such things. But since God is merciful, the wicked, if they cease doing revolting things by which they try God's patience and turn to God in humble amendment, they do without doubt obtain the kingdom of God.

    ON THE REMISSION OF SINS 1.15.3
