Extracts from Ignatius

“IT is better for a man to hold his peace, and be, than to say he is a christian, and not to be. It is good to teach, if what he says, he does likewise.”
“LET us do all things as become those who have God dwelling in them, that we may be His temples, and He our God.”
“FAITH and love are the beginning and end of life; for faith is the beginning, and the end is love; and these two joined together are of God; but all other things which concern holy life are the consequences of these.”
