1Seeing, then, that he has shewn such mercy towards us, first that we who are living do not sacrifice to the dead gods, and do not worship them, but through him know the father of truth, what is the true knowledge concerning him except that we should not deny him through whom we knew him?a 2And he himself also says, “Whosoever confessed me before men, I will confess him before my Father” 3this then is our reward, if we confess him through whom we were saved. 4But how do we confess him? By doing what he says, and not disregarding his commandments, and honouring him not only with our lips, but “with all our heart and all our mind.” 5And he says also in Isaiah, “This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.”
