[Fani71]

Sf Ioan Gura de Aur , comentariu la Tit 1:15

"All things are pure. God made nothing unclean, for nothing is unclean except for sin only. For [sin] reaches the soul and defiles it... (And) when the soul is unclean, it thinks all things unclean. Therefore, scroupulous observances are no mark of purity, but it is the part of purity to be bold in all things ... moral. What is unclean? Sin, malice, convetousness, wikedness."

si mai jos dupa ce discuta si de altele:

"You see how many forms of uncleaanliness there are. The woman in childbed is unclean. Yet God made childbirth and the seed of copulation. Why then is the woman unclean, unless something further is intimated? He [Moses] intended to produce piety in the soul, and to deter it from fornication... But these things now are not required of us. But all [attention] is transferred to the soul.

A se vedea Matei 15, 18-20 la care probabil face aluzie.
