Ignatius of Antioch quotes - page 3

Being come together in the same place, let there be one prayer, one supplication, one mind, one hope, in love and in joy undefiled. There is one Jesus Christ, than Whom nothing is more excellent. Therefore all should run together as into one temple of God, as to one altar, as to one Jesus Christ, who came forth from the Father, and is with and has gone to one. (Ignatius of Antioch)

[Jesus] was born and baptized that by his suffering he might purify the water.

Ignatius of Antioch

Therefore run together as into one temple of God, as to one altar, as to one Jesus Christ, who came forth from one Father, and is with and has gone to one.

Ignatius of Antioch

I greet you from Smyrna together with the Churches of God present here with me. They comfort me in every way, both in body and soul. My chains, which I carry about on me for Jesus Christ, begging that I may happily make my way to God, exhort you: persevere in your concord and in you community prayers.

Ignatius of Antioch

It is outrageous to utter the name of Jesus Christ and live in Judaism.

Ignatius of Antioch

Only let it be in the name of Jesus Christ, that I may suffer together with Him! I endure everything because He Himself, Who is perfect man, empowers me.

Ignatius of Antioch

Let us therefore be of a reverent spirit, and fear the long-suffering of God, that it tend not to our condemnation.

Ignatius of Antioch

I am writing to all the Churches and I enjoin all, that I am dying willingly for God's sake, if only you do not prevent it. I beg you, do not do me an untimely kindness. Allow me to be eaten by the beasts, which are my way of reaching to God. I am God's wheat, and I am to be ground by the teeth of wild beasts, so that I may become the pure bread of Christ.

Ignatius of Antioch

It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but actually to be one. Yes, if I prove to be one, then I can have the name.

Ignatius of Antioch

He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.

Ignatius of Antioch

Let no rank puff up anyone; for faith and love are paramount - the greatest blessings in the world. (Ignatius of Antioch)

Pray to Christ for me that the animals will be the means of making me a sacrificial victim for God.

Ignatius of Antioch

The Lord did nothing either of himself or through his apostles without his Father, with whom he is united; so too, you should undertake nothing without the bishop and the presbyters priests.
