Holy Scripture

Leviticus 2:13

A church father on this verse
“Just as meat, if it is not sprinkled with salt, no matter how great and special it is, becomes rotten, so also the soul, unless it is somehow salted with constant temptations, immediately becomes feeble and soft. For this reason the saying is established that every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — HOMILIES ON NUMBERS 27:12
