But now that you have found God--or, rather, have been found by him--how is it that you are turning back to that poor and feeble puerile teaching, to which yet once again you are wanting to become slaves?

I entreat you, Brothers, to become like me, as I became like you. You have never done me any wrong.

What has become then, of your blessings? For I can bear witness that, had it been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me!

Am I to think, then, that I have become your enemy by telling you the truth?
