On the Twelve Abuses of the World, with extracts from On the Soul and its Origin and On the Divination of Demons against the Pagans

From the time of this Gospel, therefore, it happens that a people without law is made, when the license for preaching was given to the apostles among all nations, when the thunder of the Gospel resounded through the ages, when the nations that were not pursuing justice have apprehended justice, when those who were far off have been made near in the blood of Christ—who were once not a people, but now are the people of God in Christ—when it is the acceptable time and the day of salvation, and the times of refreshment in the sight of the Most High, when every nation has a witness of the resurrection, when He Himself testifies, saying: "Behold, I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the age." Shall we, therefore, be without Christ in this time of the present, lest Christ begin to be without us in the future?

Praise be to God.
