Letters of Ignatius 9

1Therefore, let no one deceive you, just as indeed you are not deceived, since you belong wholly to God. For when no desire that has the power to torment you is established within you, then you truly live according to God. I devote myself for you, and I dedicate myself as an offering for the church of you Ephesians, which is famous throughout all ages.

2Those who are of the flesh cannot do the things of the Spirit, nor can those who are of the Spirit do the things of the flesh, just as faith cannot do the things of unfaithfulness, nor unfaithfulness the things of faith. Indeed, even the things you do according to the flesh are spiritual, for you do everything in Jesus Christ.
