About Cyprian

Cyprian (Latin: Thascius Caecilius Cyprianus) (c. 200 – 14 September 258) was bishop of Carthage and an important Early Christian writer, many of whose Latin works are extant. He was born around the beginning of the 3rd century in North Africa, perhaps at Carthage, where he received a classical education. After converting to Christianity, he became a bishop in 249 and eventually died a martyr at Carthage.

Additional quotes by Cyprian

Think not that you are thus maintaining the Gospel of Christ when you separate yourselves from the flock of Christ.

The frame wearied with labours lies prostrate on the ground, but it is no penalty to lie down with Christ. Your limbs unbathed, are foul and disfigured with filth and dirt; but within they are spiritually cleansed, although without the flesh is defiled.

Habere non potest Deum patrem qui ecclesiam non habet matrem.

No one can have God for his Father, who has not the Church for his mother. - Cyprian
