Grace And Salvation

Σὺ, Κύριε, φυλάξεις ἡμᾶς, καὶ διατηρήσεις ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης, καὶ εἰς τὸν αιῶνα. Ὑπὸ γὰρ τῆς σῆς φρουρούμενοι χάριτος οὐ μόνον τῆς παρούσης γενεᾶς τὰς πάγας διαφευξόμεθα, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῆς αἰωνίου σωτηρίας τευξόμεθα. Θεοδώρητος Ἐπίσκοπος Κύρρος, Ἑρμηνεία εἰς Τους Ψαλμούς, Ψαλμός ΙΑ' Source: Migne PG 80.944c

You, O Lord, protect us, and guard us, from this generation into eternity. 1 For the guardianship of your grace is that not only do we escape the snares of this present generation, but that we come into the possession of eternal salvation. Theodoret of Cyrrhus, Interpretation of the Psalms, from Psalm 11 1 Ps 11.8
