If ye let me alone, I shall be the word of God; but if ye love my flesh, again am I [only] to myself a voice. Ye cannot give me anything more precious than this, that I should be sacrificed to God, while the altar is ready; that ye may be in one concord in love, and may praise God the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord, because He has deemed a bishop worthy to be God\u2019s, having called him from the east to the west. It is good that I should set from the world in God, that I may rise in Him to life. 1161","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol I: IGNATIUS: Chapter II.","type":"page"}
