CHAPTER 

 :  It is better to keep silence and to be, than to

talk and not to be. It is a fine thing to teach, if

the speaker practise. Now there is one teacher, who

_spake and it came to pass:_ yea and even the things

which He hath done in silence are worthy of the

Father.

 :  He that truly possesseth the word of Jesus is

able also to hearken unto His silence, that he may

be perfect; that through his speech he may act and

through his silence he may be known.

 :  Nothing is hidden from the Lord, but even our

secrets are nigh unto Him. Let us therefore do all

things as knowing that He dwelleth in us, to the end

that we may be His temples and He Himself may be in us

as our God. This is so, and it will also be made clear

in our sight from the love which we rightly bear

towards Him.
