That God is not Defiled by Our Sins.
writings in connection with the Manichæan controversy — St. Augustine
And yet, though all things that He established are in Him, those who sin do not defile Him, of whose wisdom it is said: "She touches all things by reason of her purity, and nothing defiled assails her." [1110] For it behooves us to believe that as God is incorruptible and unchangeable, so also is He consequently undefilable.
