Letters of Ignatius 44
Ignatius Feared Heavenly Knowledge
Open in the reader →1Am I not able to write to you about heavenly things? But I fear lest I should cause you harm, being infants. So bear with me, lest, not being able to take them in, you should be choked.
2For I myself also, although I am in bonds and can comprehend heavenly things and the arrays of the angels and the musterings of the principalities, things visible and things invisible—I myself am not yet by reason of this a disciple. For we lack many things, that God may not be lacking to us.
