Book VIII. Concerning Gifts, and Ordinations, and the Ecclesiastical Canons.

XLIII. That Memorials or Mandates Do Not at All Profit the Ungodly Who are Dead.

These things we say concerning the pious; for as to the ungodly, if thou givest all the world to the poor, thou wilt not benefit him at all. For to whom the Deity was an enemy while he was alive, it is certain it will be so also when he is departed; for there is no unrighteousness with Him. For "the Lord1 is righteous, and has loved righteousness."2 And, "Behold the man and his work."3
