Letters of Ignatius 18
Receive Knowledge of God Wisely
Open in the reader →1For this reason the Lord received ointment on his head, so that he might breathe incorruption upon the church. Do not be anointed with the foul odor of the teaching of the prince of this world, so that he may not take you captive and rob you of the life set before you.
2Why do we not all walk wisely, receiving the knowledge of God, which is Jesus Christ? Why do we perish in our foolishness, not knowing the gift of grace that the Lord has truly sent?
