Holy Scripture

Ezekiel 16:30

A church father on this verse
“As the law is not made for the just but for the lawless and those who are not subjected to God, so the teaching that warns us away from fornication does not become chaste but is for the lawless and the fornicators and the disobedient.”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — HOMILIES ON EZEKIEL 7:10
