Chapter III.—Exhortations.
Let not those who seem worthy of credit, but teach
strange doctrines,1080
fill thee with apprehension. Stand firm, as does an anvil which
is beaten. It is the part of a noble1081
athlete to
be wounded, and yet to conquer. And especially, we ought to bear all
things for the sake of God, that He also may bear with us. Be ever
becoming more zealous than what thou art. Weigh carefully the times. Look
for Him who is above all time, eternal and invisible, yet who became
visible for our sakes; impalpable and impassible, yet who became passible
on our account; and who in every kind of way suffered for our sakes.

fill thee with apprehension. Stand firm, as does an anvil which
is beaten. It is the part of a noble1083
athlete to
be wounded, and yet to conquer. And especially we ought to bear all
things for the sake of God, that He also may bear with us, and bring us
into His kingdom. Add more and more to thy diligence; run thy race with
increasing energy; weigh carefully the times. Whilst thou art here, be a
conqueror; for here is the course, and there are the crowns. Look for Christ, the Son of God;
who was before time, yet appeared in time; who was invisible by nature,
yet visible in the flesh; who was impalpable, and could not be touched,
as being without a body, but for our sakes became such, might be touched
and handled in the body; who was impassible as God, but became passible
for our sakes as man; and who in every kind of way suffered for our
sakes.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
