Let not then any one deceive you, as indeed you are not deceived, inasmuch as you are wholly devoted to God.

It is better for me to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth.

I would rather die for Christ than rule the whole earth.

Now I begin to be a disciple. Let fire and cross, flocks of beasts, broken bones, dismemberment come upon me, so long as I attain to Jesus Christ.

Be obedient to the bishop and to one another, as Jesus Christ was in the flesh to the Father, and the apostles to Christ and to the Father and to the Spirit, so that there may be unity in flesh and in spirit.

I am God's wheat and shall be ground by their teeth so that I may become Christ's pure bread.

Your accord and harmonious love is a hymn to Jesus Christ...in perfect harmony, and taking your pitch from God, you may sing in unison and in one voice to the Father through Jesus Christ.
