Let us therefore be of a reverent spirit, and fear the long-suffering of God, that it tend not to our condemnation.

I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of God.

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

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

It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but actually to be one. Yes, if I prove to be one, then I can have the name.

A Christian is not his own master, since all his time belongs to God.

Now do I begin to be a disciple of Christ, and care for nothing in this world, that so I may find Jesus. Let fire, or the cross, or wild beasts, or the breaking of my bones, or the cutting of me to pieces, or the shattering of my whole body, yea, all the tortures of the devil - let them all come upon me, only let me enjoy my God.
