Works Hippolytus of Rome (170-235) Other Fragments of Hippolytus

On Matthew. 1

Matt. vi. 11. 2

For this reason we are enjoined to ask what is sufficient for the preservation of the substance of the body: not luxury, but food, which restores what the body loses, and prevents death by hunger; not tables to inflame and drive on to pleasures, nor such things as make the body wax wanton against the soul; but bread, and that, too, not for a great number of years, but what is sufficient for us to-day.

  2. He is giving his opinion on the epiousion, i.e., the "daily bread." ↩
