V; 3,4. -to lie to the Holy Ghoft. thou haft not lied unto men, but unto GOD. The meaning is: Ananias, by Lying to the Apofiles in whom the Holy Spirit dwelt, did in effect Lic to the Holy Spirit; and Lying to the Holy Spirit, was the very fame thing as Lying to GOD himself, who dwelt in the Apoftles by his Holy Spirit. The like manner of speaking, is very frequent in Scripture. 1 Sam. viii, 7. They have not rejected THEE, but they have rejected ME. Luke x, 16, He that defpifeth Tov, defpiferb ME; and be that defpifeth ME, defpifeth HIM that fent me. And I Thef. iv, 8, He that defpifeth, defpifeth not MAN, but GOD, who hath alfo He therefore given unto us his HOLY SPIRIT.

that

that lied to the Apostles, lied to the Holy Spirit; and he that lied to the Holy Spirit, lied to GOD who gave them his Holy Spirit. Again; CHRIST himfelf is faid to be in them, who have the SPIRIT of Chrift, or in whom the SPIRIT of Chrift dwelleth, Rom. viii. ver. 1o, compared with ver. 9. And That which is called the Demonftration of the SPIRIT and of Power, 1 Cor. ii, 4; is in the next verfe called, the Power of GOD. In like manner, r Cor. iii, 16, Te are the Temple of GOD, for the SPIRIT OF GOD dwelleth in you: And Ephef. ii, 21, 22, Ye are an Holy Temple in the Lord, an Habitation of GOD through the SPIRIT. And what the Apostle fays, 2 Cor. vi, 16, Ye are the Temple of the Living GOD; is in another place thus expreft, 1 Cor. vi, 19, Your Body is the Temple of the HOLY GHOST, which is in you, which ye have of GOD. Now, as our Bodies, by being Temples of the Holy Ghost, are the Temples of GOD, because God dwells in us by his Holy Spirit ; fo, Lying to the Holy Gheft, is in like manner Lying unto GOD, who fpake in the Apoftles by his Holy Spirit.

Athanafius himself explains this Text in the fame manner: He that Ὥσε ὁ ψευσάμρα τη lied (faith he) to the Ho- a verμali, TW DEC ly Ghof, lied to GOD εψεύσατο, τῷ κατοικέντι ἐν who dwelleth in Men by bis Spirit.
