A True Word

Ἐὰν θέλῃς σωθῆναι, ἀληθῆ λόγον ἀγάπησον, καὶ μηδέποτε ἀκρίτως ἔλεγχον ἀποστραφῇς. Λόγος ἀληθὴς μετέβαλε γεννήματα ἐχκιδῶν, καὶ ὑπέδειξεν αὐτοῖς φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς. Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ Source: Migne PG 65.921a-b

If you wish to be saved, love a true word and never foolishly avoid correction. A true word can transform a brood of vipers and show them how to flee the coming wrath. 1 Saint Mark The Ascetic, On The Spiritual Law. 1 Mt 3.7
