Ignatius of Antioch, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. I — Epistle to Hero… (1885)

“ I do not glory in the world, but in the Lord. I exhort Hero, my son; “but let him that glorieth, glory in the Lord.” [24] May I have joy of thee, my dear son, whose guardian may He be who is the only unbegotten God, and the Lord Jesus Christ! Do not believe all persons, do not place confidence in all; nor let any man get the better of thee by flattery. For many are the ministers of Satan; and “he that is hasty to believe is light of heart.” [25]
Chapter VII.—Solemn charge to Hero, as future bishop of Antioch. ”

“ It is fitting, therefore, to love those that were the authors of our birth (but only in the Lord) , inasmuch as a man can produce no children without a woman. It is right, therefore, that we should honour those who have had a part in giving us birth. “Neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man,” [19] except in the case of those who were first formed. For the body of Adam was made out of the four elements, and that of Eve out of the side of Adam. And, indeed, the altogether peculiar birth of the Lord was of a virgin alone. ”

“ If any one makes light of the law or the prophets, which Christ fulfilled at His coming, let him be to thee as antichrist. If any one says that the Lord is a mere man, he is a Jew, a murderer of Christ. ”

“ Exhort my sisters to love God, and be content with their own husbands only. In like manner, exhort my brethren also to be content with their own wives. Watch over the virgins, as the precious treasures of Christ. Be long-suffering, [22] that thou mayest be great in wisdom. Do not neglect the poor, in so far as thou art prosperous. ”

“ Chapter IV.—Servants and women are not to be despised.
Be not ashamed of servants, for we possess the same nature in common with them. Do not hold women in abomination, for they have given thee birth, and brought thee up. ”

“ Be strong, therefore, O Hero, like a hero, and like a man. For from henceforth thou shalt lead [28] in and out the people of the Lord that are in Antioch, and so “the congregation of the Lord shall not be as sheep which have no shepherd.” [29] ”

“ Every one that teaches anything beyond what is commanded, though he be [deemed] worthy of credit, though he be in the habit of fasting, though he live in continence, though he work miracles, though he have the gift of prophecy, let him be in thy sight as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, [12] labouring for the destruction of the sheep. If any one denies the cross, and is ashamed of the passion, let him be to thee as the adversary himself. ”

“ And again, “Wine maketh glad the heart of man, and oil exhilarates, and bread strengthens him.” [7] But all are to be used with moderation, as being the gifts of God. “For who shall eat or who shall drink without Him? For if anything be beautiful, it is His; and if anything be good, it is His.” [8] Give attention to reading, [9] that thou mayest not only thyself know the laws, but mayest also explain them to others, as the earnest servant [10] of God. “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier ”
