Shepherd of Hermas · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Lucas 8:14
Even as beautiful vines, when they are neglected, are withered up by thorns and divers plants, so men who have believed, and have afterwards fallen away into many of those actions above mentioned, go astray in their minds, and lose all understanding in regard to righteousness; for if they hear of righteousness, their minds are occupied with their business, and they give no heed at all. — Shepherd of Hermas, Commandment 10
