Hurray for Origen!

"From all these testimonies it is deduced that the heretics whom we mentioned above, and whoever there is who agrees with them in interpreting these words as spoken about the law of Moses, have been unable to touch even remotely upon the Apostle's meaning. Instead, this passage ought to be understood, as we have already repeatedly said, of the law of nature which is written "not on stone tablets but on the fleshly tablets of the heart, not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God." This law has been inscribed by the one who created man in the beginning..."
--Origen commenting on Romans 5:20-21 ^_^
