Firm Faith


Ὁ ἀθετούμενος ὑπὸ τινος, καὶ μήτε λόγω, μήτε ἐννοίᾳ τῷ ἀθετοῦντι φιλονεικῶν, γνῶσιν ἀληθῆ κέκτηται, καὶ πίστιν βεβαίαν ἐπιδείκνυται τῷ Δεσπότῃ.

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Τῶν Οἰομένων Ἐξ Ἔργων Δικαιοῦσθαι

He who is spurned by another, and neither in word nor in thought strives with him, possesses true knowledge, and he demonstrates firm faith in the Lord.

Saint Mark The Ascetic, On Those Who Think Themselves Justified By Works.
