The Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians (Short Version)

It is better for a man to be silent and be [a Christian], than to talk and not be one. It is good to teach if the speaker also acts. There is one Teacher, who spoke and it was done; even the things He did in silence are worthy of the Father. He who possesses the word of Jesus is truly able to hear even His silence, that he may be perfect, acting as he speaks, and be recognized by his silence. Nothing is hidden from God, for even our secrets are near to Him. Therefore, let us do all things as those who have Him dwelling in us, that we may be His temples, and He may be in us as our God, which indeed He is, and will manifest Himself before us. Therefore, we justly love Him.
