... be not consumed by fire, nor be rendered unfruitful, and that where we have an accuser there we may have also an Advocate, the Lord commending to the Holy Spirit His own man, who had fallen among thieves, whom He Himself compassionated, and bound up his wounds, giving two royal denaria; so that we, receiving by the Spirit the image and superscription of the Father and the Son, might cause the denarium entrusted to us to be fruitful, counting out the increase [thereof] to the Lord.[Matthew 25:14]

[22][Matthew 25:14] It is as a man, who went on a journey, and called his servants, and delivered unto [23] them his possessions. And unto one he gave five talents, and another two, and another [24] one; every one according to his strength; and went on his journey forthwith. He [Arabic, p. 164] then that received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained [26] other five. And so also he of the two gained other two. But he that received [27] the one went and digged in the earth, and hid ...

... discipline, and that of those who may chance to read them, we will to some extent set forth. But let these things, then, be said by way of apology, because of the depth of the parable; but, with regard to the question at what time the man—the king—in the parable wished to make a reckoning with his own servants, we will say that it seems that this takes place about the time of the judgment which had been proclaimed. And this is confirmed by two parables, one at the close of the Gospel before us,[Matthew 25:14-30] and one from the Gospel according to Luke. And not to prolong the discussion by quoting the very letter, as any one who wishes can take it from the Scripture himself, we will say that the parable according to Matthew declares, “For it is as when a ...

And compare the words, “And when he ...

First, therefore, it is necessary that the Gospel should be preached among all nations[Matthew 25:14]: And then shall that wicked one be revealed, even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders , with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, whom the Lord shall consume with the word of His mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming. The devil himself, therefore does not become man in the way that the Lord was made man. God forbid! but he becomes man ...
