2 Coríntios 4

2 Coríntios 4:6

When the apostle said, "God, who commanded the light to shine out of the darkness, has shined in our hearts," he referred to the resurrection. He showed this resurrection to be the exodus from the old state which in the likeness of Sheol incarcerates a person where the light of the gospel will not shine mystically upon him. This breath of life shines through hope in the resurrection. By it the dawning of divine wisdom shines in the heart, so that a person should become new, having nothing of the old. — ASCETICAL HOMILIES 37
