Volume 9

Your word is the truth. 2)

Return to Volume 9

There is no one so rude nor so foolish who would gladly and willingly allow himself to be deceived, especially in great, serious matters, where everyone wants the truth and does not want to suffer lies. It follows from this that people who despise God's word, the blessed truth, must not be foolish, but foolish and superfoolish. For if they were serious about having the truth and not suffering lies, they would seek and hold God's word differently and higher than the true truth of God.

From the stories of the apostles.

Cap. 10, 43.
