[142] μήποτε δὲ οὐ περὶ μόνης
σαρκός ἐστιν ὁ λόγος τὴν αὑτῆς φθειρούσης ὁδόν, ἵνα εἰκότως ἡμαρτῆσθαι τὰ περὶ τὴν λέξιν δοκῇ, ἀλλὰ περὶ δυεῖν, σαρκός τε τῆς φθειρομένης καὶ ἑτέρου, οὗ τὴν ὁδὸν λυμαίνεσθαί τε καὶ φθείρειν ἐπιχειρεῖ. ὥσθ’ οὕτως ἀποδοτέον· κατέφθειρε πᾶσα σὰρξ τὴν τοῦ
αἰωνίου καὶ ἀφθάρτου τελείαν ὁδὸν τὴν πρὸς θεὸν ἄγουσαν.

[142] But perhaps, Moses does not mean here to speak of the alone as corrupting his way upon the earth, so that he deserves to be considered to have erred in the expression which he has used, but rather to speak of the things of the flesh, which is corrupted, and of that other being whose way the flesh endeavours to injure and to corrupt. So that we should explain this expression thus:—All flesh corrupted the perfect way of the everlasting and incorruptible being which conducts to God.
