Do not have Jesus Christ on your lips, and the world in your heart.

Ignatius of Antioch

Be obedient to the bishop and to one another, as Jesus Christ was in the flesh to the Father, and the apostles to Christ and to the Father and to the Spirit, so that there may be unity in flesh and in spirit.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Father God Obedience Oneself Spirit Unity
Do everything as if He were dwelling in us. Thus we shall be His temples and He will be within us as our God – as He actually is.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Our task is not one of producing persuasive propaganda; Christianity shows its greatness when it is hated by the world.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Hate Ourselves Production Work World
It is impossible for a man to be freed from the habit of sin before he hates it, just as it is impossible to receive forgiveness before confessing his trespasses.

I wish not merely to be called Christian, but also to be Christian.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Call Dreams Myself Name Religious True
Let no man’s place, or dignity, or riches, puff him up; and let no man’s low condition or poverty abase him. For the chief points are faith towards God, hope towards Christ, the enjoyment of those good things for which we look, and love towards God and our neighbor.

Let not then any one deceive you, as indeed you are not deceived, inasmuch as you are wholly devoted to God.

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.

As for me, my charter is Jesus Christ, the inviolable charter is His cross and His death and resurrection, and faith through Him.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Now I begin to be a disciple. Let fire and cross, flocks of beasts, broken bones, dismemberment come upon me, so long as I attain to Jesus Christ.

Your accord and harmonious love is a hymn to Jesus Christ in perfect harmony, and taking your pitch from God, you may sing in unison and in one voice to the Father through Jesus Christ.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Father God Harmony Love Perfection Voice
May nothing entice me till I happily make my way to Jesus Christ! Fire, cross, struggles with wild beasts, wrenching of bones, mangling of limbs – let them come to me, provided only I make my way to Jesus Christ.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

I am God’s wheat and shall be ground by their teeth so that I may become Christ’s pure bread.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

It is better for me to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth.
