Jerome

Against the Pelagians 3.1 (420)

When we have been baptized we are told, "Behold, you are made whole; sin no more lest a worse thing happen to you." And again, "Don't you know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone profanes the temple of God, God shall destroy him." And in another place, "The Lord is with you so long as you are with him: if you forsake him, he will also forsake you."
