As for me, my charter is Jesus Christ, the inviolable charter is His cross and His death and resurrection, and faith through Him.

But look at the men who have those perverted notions about the grace of Jesus Christ which has come down to us, and see how contrary to the mind of God they are. . . .

... you... are stones of the temple of the Father, prepared for the Father's building, and drawn up on high by the instrument of Jesus Christ, which is the Cross (cf. Jn. 12:32), making use of the Holy Spirit as a rope, while your faith was the means by which you ascended, and your love the way which led up to God. You, therefore, as well as all your fellow-travelers, are God-bearers, temple-bearers, Christ-bearers, bearers of holiness, adorned in all respects with the commandments of Jesus Christ.

He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.

[Jesus] was born and baptized that by his suffering he might purify the water.

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