CCEL Footnote 4882 (In-Text, Margin)

“And he found the jaw-bone of an ass.” It is to be observed that, after [Samson had committed] fornication, the holy Scripture no longer speaks of the things happily accomplished by him in connection with the formula, “The Spirit of the Lord came upon him.”[Judges 14:6-19] For thus, according to the holy apostle, the sin of fornication is perpetrated against the body, as involving also sin against the temple of God.
