Holy Scripture

Psalms 106:18

A church father on this verse
“"And the fire was kindled in their company; the flame burnt up the sinners" [Psalm 106:18]. This word is not in Scripture usually applied to those, who, although they live righteously, and in a praiseworthy manner, are not without sin. Rather, as there is a difference between those who scorn and scorners, between men…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — Exposition on Psalm 106
