ACC ~ Acts 13 v50

CLOSING PARADISE. AMMONIUS: “Honest rich women,” the text says, “and pious,” but not faithful. They certainly were Greek-Jewish women. In fact they, being most evil and imitators of the archevil demon and transgressor, endeavor through women to close to men the way of salvation, just as that one closed paradise to men through Eve until the proper time. But the divine Jesus opens it again for those who believe in his name and also allowed them to enter there, the first of whom entered with him as a thief. CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 13.50.
