Victory in Trials and the Holiness of the Temple
Showing some to be victors over these trials and struggles. For blessed is the man who endures trial (Ps 92:4c), and the following. Stop if many things, from which the swellings of the sea become marvelous because of the voices, happen to the sea; for from its own things and from the men in them, the swellings of it become marvelous, being logically and prudently examined and known.
In the high and exalted words, the Lord is marvelous (Ps 92:5a), so that his testimonies, which are kindred to the spoken rights and laws, and he himself, God, are to be believed as high in which he is marvelous. It is possible to say that men are raised to divine things through faith and the rest of virtue, and even the angels and archangels in heaven are high, in whom the Lord is marvelous, having testimonies and sayings established and examined because he has spoken them with certain stability (Ps 92:5bc).
All those who have approached God become his dwelling-place, and it is truly fitting to be holy for the saints, not for one or two days, but for a length of days; thus The One who initiates, desiring the dwelling-place of God to be a sanctification for a length of days, says: Do you not know that you are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you? in you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, God destroys this one; for the temple of God is holy, and you indeed are it. For holiness and sanctification are truly necessary for everyone who becomes God's dwelling-place, just as the temple of God is holy and just as the holy place is holy and of God.
