14.
Therefore understand it not so....When thou art filled with spiritual riches, canst thou be poor? And was he therefore rich, because he had a bed of ivory; and art thou poor who hast the chamber of thy heart filled with such jewelry of virtues, justice, truth, charity, faith, endurance? Unfold thy riches, if thou hast them, and compare them with the riches of the rich. But such an one has found in the market mules of great value, and has bought them. If thou couldest find faith to be sold, how much wouldest thou give for that, which God willeth that thou shouldest have gratis, and thou art ungrateful? Those rich then lack, they lack, and what is heavier, they lack bread....For He hath said, "I am the Living Bread which came down from Heaven." 1 And again, "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." 2 "But they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing:" but what manner of good, I have already said.
