62. <strong>The</strong> exaltation <strong>of</strong> mankind is not<br />

manifest but rather is implicit. Because<br />

<strong>of</strong> this he is master <strong>of</strong> the animals<br />

which are stronger than him— who is<br />

greater than them both manifestly and<br />

implicitly. And this gives to them their<br />

survival. Yet (when¹) mankind separates<br />

from them, they kill each other and<br />

gnaw each other and devour each<br />

other, because they find no food. Yet<br />

they have found food, now that<br />

mankind cultivated the earth. (Job 35:11,<br />

Mk 1:13; ¹asyndeton)<br />

63. If one goes down into the water<br />

and comes back up not having received<br />

anything, saying ‘I'm a Christic’, he has<br />

taken the name on loan. Yet if he<br />

receives the Sacred Spirit, he has the<br />

gift <strong>of</strong> the name. He who has received a<br />

gift is not deprived <strong>of</strong> it, but he who has<br />

taken a loan has it demanded from him.<br />

( Jn 4:10, Th 41)<br />
