Chapter IV.—Many
Called.
Then Peter, wondering at the eagerness of the
multitudes, answered,1089
| 1089 [With chaps.
4–11 compare the closely resembling passage, Recognitions,
iv. 4–11.—R.] | “You see,
brethren, how the words of our Lord are manifestly fulfilled. For
I remember His saying, ‘Many shall come from the east and from
the west, the north and the south, and shall recline on the bosoms of
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob.’1090
‘But many,’ said He also,
‘are called, but few chosen.’1091
The coming, therefore, of these called
ones is fulfilled. But inasmuch as it is not of themselves, but
of God who has called them and caused them to come, on this account
alone they have no reward, since it is not of themselves but of Him who
has wrought in them. But if, after being called, they do things
that are excellent, for this is of themselves, then for this they shall
have a reward.
