| Chapter XXX. How He Resolved to Resist the Devil.
PREVIOUS SECTION - NEXT SECTION - HELP 
Therefore, being initiated and instructed in
these things, I wish to put away my former errors as the follies of
childhood. For we know that the nature of wickedness is like that of
the smallest seeds; since it has waxed strong from a small beginning,
but will again be destroyed if we obey the words of God and do not
scatter ourselves. For He has become master of all we have by means of
a certain “hidden treasure,”500
which while we are digging for we are indeed covered
with dust, but we secure it as our fixed possession. He who receives
the whole of this treasure has obtained command of the most precious
wealth. Let these things, then, be said to our friends. But to you
Greeks what can I say, except to request you not to rail at those who
are better than yourselves, nor if they are called Barbarians to make
that an occasion of banter? For, if you are willing, you will be able
to find out the cause of men’s not being able to understand one
another’s language; for to those who wish to examine our principles
I will give a simple and copious account of them.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
