Letter 449
To the Same Person.
The end of those who contend through Christ is salvation, but the end of the demons is grievous destruction. For then those who now goad you shall themselves be pierced, and you shall trample them down, and they shall be as ash beneath your feet [cf. Malachi 4:3]; and they whom you feared shall fear you, because of the counsel which the Lord has purposed [cf. Isaiah 14:24-26].

Latin / Greek Original
Τὸ μὲν τέλος τῶν ἀγωνιζομένων διὰ Χριστοῦ, σωτηρία ὑπάρχει, τὸ δὲ τέλος τῶν δαιμόνων ἀπώλεια χαλεπή. Τότε γὰρ κεντηθήσονται οἱ κεντοῦντές σε νῦν, καὶ καταπατήσεις αὐτούς, καὶ ἔσονται σποδὸς ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας σου, καὶ φοβηθήσονται σε, οὓς ἐφοβήθης, διὰ τὴν βουλὴν, ἣν βεβούλευται Κύριος.
