Background on Pseudo-Augustine

In his own words on Ephesians

  • Ephesians 2:3

    Undoubtedly the will passes for nature—for it is from their will, not their nature, that people are judged. Similarly all the martyrs and the justified are upright not because they were born faithful but because they were reborn so.

    QUESTIONS ON THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS 115.11

  • Ephesians 5:29

    The purpose of God cannot be undone, nor can anyone make a better provision than God already has. God made the body. No workman loves another's work better than his own. Hence the apostle says "no one hates his own flesh."
