We especially reckon the kingdom of the heavens even in the present, and we say it is either the calling in sanctification or the measure in faith and holiness. For the Savior also hints at something of the sort when he says, “The kingdom of the heavens is within you.” (Matthew 18:1) (Luke 17:21)

Greek

Οὐρανῶν τε βασιλείαν ἔν τε τῷ παρόντι μάλιστα λογιζόμεθα καὶ εἶναί φαμεν ἢ τὴν ἐν ἁγιασμῷ κλῆσιν ἢ τὸ ἐν πίστει καὶ ἁγιότητι μέτρον· ὑποφαίνει γάρ τι τοιοῦτον καὶ ὁ σωτὴρ εἰπών· "ἡ βασιλεία" τῶν οὐρανῶν "ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν".
