Little Divides Angels from Men If They Are Willing to Perfect Themselves | St John Chrysostom | Orthodox Christian Lightweight Cotton Unisex TeeSt Paul was the noblest of men and the most outstanding example of the nobility of human nature and of its possibilities for virtue. By speaking up for the Master and exhorting us to virtue, he completely refutes those who find fault with human nature, seals the lips of those who made slanderous charges, and shows that little divides angels from men if they are willing to perfect themselves. + St John Chrysostom

From the Psalter According to the Seventy:

and pagan priests who knew the art of medicine invoked their gods without success

where it resides to this day

said unto her: Rejoice

like a powerful army drawn up for battle

and there He remained with them and baptized

I call today upon all these virtue against every hostile

when I reflect upon this

and make no account of it

in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise

the penance consists of deprivations and labors

burned him with fire and then stretched him on the rack
