Methodius, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. VI, Banquet of the Ten Virgins… (1885)
“ One vows to offer gold and silver vessels for the sanctuary when he comes, another to offer the tithe of his fruits, another of his property, another the best of his flocks, another consecrates his being; and no one is able to vow a great vow to the Lord, but he who has offered himself entirely to God. ”
