Verse 19 Read Chapter 48 Verse 21

Athanasius the Apostolic

AD 373

Now my beloved, our will ought to keep pace with the grace of God and not fall short; lest while our will remains idle, the grace given us should begin to depart, and the enemy finding us empty and naked, … as was the case with him spoken of in the Gospel, from whom the devil went out. … For the departure from virtue gives place for the entrance of the unclean spirit. - "Festal Letters 3.3"

Augustine of Hippo

AD 430

“Come forth out of Babylon.” If we take the command of the prophet in a spiritual sense, it means that we should fly from the city of this world, from the fellowship of wicked angels and wicked [people], with the feet of that faith that works through love, and we should press onward unceasingly toward the living God. - "City of God 18.18"
