Œuvres Augustin d'Hippone (354-430) Epistulae (CCEL) Letters of St. Augustin
Second Division.
Letter XCIII.

34.

Therefore it is the same Church also which within the Lord's net is swimming along with the bad fishes, but is in heart and in life separated from them, and departs from them, that she may be presented to her Lord a "glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle." 1 But the actual visible separation she looks for only on the sea-shore, i.e. at the end of the world,--meanwhile correcting as many as she can, and bearing with those whom she cannot correct; but she does not abandon the unity of the good because of the wickedness of those whom she finds incorrigible.


  1. Eph. v. 27. ↩
