Scripture And Spirit



Οὗ δὲ τὸ Πνεῦμα Κυρίου, εκεῖ ἐλευθερία, κ.τ.λ.

Ἐκ τούτων ἀνατρέπεται ὁ μῦθος τῶν διακοπτόντων τὴν Θεοῦ Γραφήν. Μία γάρ ἐστιν, ὁτὲ μὲν τύποις καὶ σκιᾷ κεκαλυμμένη, ὁτὲ δὲ ἄνευ καλυμμάτων προφαινομένη· ἐπείπερ ἀπὸ Πνεύματος κυριακοῦ τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν αὐτῆς δεχόμεθα, πεπεισμέμενοι ἐλευθερίαν εἴναι τὸ Κυρίου Πνεῦμα. 


Δίδυμος Αλεξανδρεύς, Εἰς Τὴν Δευτέραν Ἐπιστολήν Παύλου Πρὸς Κορινθίους

Source: Migne PG 39. 1697
 
And where is the spirit of the Lord, there is freedom... 1

With these words he overthrows the fable of the divisions of the Scriptures of God. For one is veiled with types and shadows, and one without veils is declared, since when we receive revelation concerning it from the spirit of the Lord, we are persuaded that the spirit of the Lord is freedom.
