Ignatius to the Romans · Hieromartyr Ignatius the God-bearer of Antioch

Ye never grudged any one; ye were the instructors of others And my desire is that those lessons shall hold good which as teachers ye enjoin.

Ign Rom 3.1

Only pray that I may have power within and without, so that I may not only say it but also desire it; that I may not only be called a Christian, but also be found one. For if I shall be found so, then can I also be called one, and be faithful then, when I am no more visible to the world.

Ign Rom 3.2

Nothing visible is good. For our God Jesus Christ, being in the Father, is the more plainly visible. The Work is not of persuasiveness, but Christianity is a thing of might, whensoever it is hated by the world.
