Благочестие
Machine translation from the original · Show original
When the love of piety settles in the soul, then all types of abuse are ridiculous for it, and all those tormenting it for its favorite object delight rather than amaze. My witness to this is the love of the apostles, which once made the scourges of the Jews pleasant for them. For it is said: they went away from the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that for His name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor (Acts 5:41)(1).
