preserve you without sin: We are not told that a man can be without sin… but that God, if He chooses, can keep a man free from sin, and of His mercy guard him so that he may be without blemish. And I say that all things are possible with God; but that everything which a man desires is not possible to him, and especially. (St. Jerome Ag. Pel. Bk 1.24) Does he not most manifestly show that perseverance in good unto the end is God’s gift? And no one need doubt, but that whosoever prays from the Lord that he may persevere in good, confesses thereby that such perseverance is His gift. (St. Augustine Ag. Pel. 10)
