Sin no more: Healing, wholeness, and the absent adulteress in Cyprian's use of John
See, you have been made whole; sin no more lest anything worse befall you. (John 5, 14b) Cyprian quotes or alludes to these words of Jesus six times, focusing not so much on the healing itself (mentioned only once, separately from the maxim), but rather on the need to preserve such healing.

| Summary: | See, you have been made whole; sin no more lest anything worse befall you. (John 5, 14b) Cyprian quotes or alludes to these words of Jesus six times, focusing not so much on the healing itself (mentioned only once, separately from the maxim), but rather on the need to preserve such healing. Examining Cyprian's references to this passage highlights the relationship between his exegesis and his pastoral concerns, the connection between wholeness and salvation in his thought, and the healing role of the bishop. Finally, it raises a textual question: Jesus also says, Sin no more, to the woman caught in adultery (John 7, 53 - 8, 11), but this pericope is never mentioned by Cyprian. I will consider the significance of this omission. |
