Law And Deeds


Ὁ νόμος τῆς ἐλευθερίας διδάσκει πᾶσαν ἀλήθειαν· καὶ οἱ μὲν πολλοὶ τοῦτον κατὰ γνῶσιν ἀναγινώσκουσιν· ὀλίγοι δὲ νοοοῦσιν αὐτὸν κατὰ ἀναλογίαν τῆς ἐργασίας τῶν ἐντολῶν.

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ

Migne PG 65 909
The law of liberty teaches every truth; and many know this by reading, but few consider it in relation to the practice of the deeds of the commandments.

Saint Mark The Ascetic, from On The Spiritual Law.
