[2199] These words are found in Jerome’s Epistle to Avitus, and, literally translated, are as follows: “Whence infinite caution is to be employed, lest perchance, after souls have obtained salvation and come to the blessed life, they should cease to be souls. For as our Lord and Saviour came to seek and to save what was lost, that it might cease to be lost; so the soul which was lost, and for whose salvation the Lord came, shall, when it has been saved, cease for a soul. This point in like manner must be examined, whether, as that which has been lost was at one time not lost, and a time will come when it will be no longer lost; so also at some time a soul may not have been a soul, and a time may be when it will by no means continue to be a soul.” A portion of the above is also found, in the original Greek, in the Emperor Justinian’s Letter to Menas, Patriarch of Constantinople.
[2204] Cf. Jer. i. 9. The word “fire” is found neither in the Hebrew nor in the Septuagint.
