St Basil the Great, tr. Lowther Clarke, 1925

Chapter 22

That the doing of sin alienates from the Lord and reconciles to the devil.

Jn. viii. 34; 44; Rom. vi. 20. 2That relationship to the Lord is not recognised in kinship according to the flesh, but is perfected in zealous fulfilment of God’s wishes.

Jn. viii. 47; Lk. viii. 20 καὶ ἀπηγγέλη for ἀπηγγέλη δέ K, add λεγόντων K; 21 αὐτοῖς for πρὸς αὐτούς*; Jn. xv. 14 ὅσα for ἅ K; Rom. viii. 14 εἰσίν after θεοῦ.
