baptized, he shall say: ‘I anoint you with holy oil in the Lord, the Father Almighty
and Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit.’ And signing them on the forehead he shall
kiss them and say: ‘The Lord shall be with you.’ And he that has been signed shall
say: ‘And with your spirit.’ Thus shall he do with each.”
Refutation of All Heresies (Post 222 AD):
9, 12
“For this reason women who were reputed to be believers began to take drugs to
render themselves sterile, and being conceived, since they would not, on account of
relatives and excessive wealth, want to have a child by a slave or by any
insignificant person. See, then, into what great impiety that lawless one has
proceeded, by teaching adultery and murder at the same time.”
9, 12
“For Christ is the God over all, who has arranged to wash away sin from
mankind, rendering the old man new.”
Against the Greeks (Ante 225 AD):
3
“Standing before (Christ’s) judgment, all of them, men, angels, and demons, crying
out in one voice, shall say: ‘Just is your judgment!’ And the justice of that cry will
be apparent in the recompense made to each. To those who have done well,
everlasting enjoyment shall be given; while to the lovers of evil shall be given
eternal punishment.”
