For, so long as there is not implanted in you any one lust which is able to torment you, behold, ye live in God. I rejoice in you, and offer supplication [1154] on account of you, Ephesians, a Church which is renowned in all ages. For those who are carnal are not able to do spiritual things, nor those that are spiritual carnal things; in like manner as neither can faith [do] those things which are foreign to faith, nor want of faith [do] what belongs to faith. For those things which ye have done in the flesh, even these are spiritual, because ye have done everything in Jesus Christ.

[1153] Chaps. iv. v. vi. vii. of the Greek are totally omitted in the Syriac.

[1154] Thus Cureton renders the words, referring in confirmation to the Peshito version of Philippians 1:4, but the meaning is doubtful.
