Whoever leaves the world can no longer be held back as if still in the world. such a person clearly is beyond desire…and fear, is dominant…, and is above envy.
if that person is grasped and choked. how can that person escape the great grasping powers? how can that person hide from them?
some say, “we are faithful,” in order that they may escape unclean spirits and demons. for if they had the holy spirit, no unclean spirit could grab them.
do not fear the flesh and do not love it. if you fear the flesh, it will dominate you. if you love the flesh, it will swallow you up and strangle you.
