“The one who loves this temporary life here,” (Matthew 10:37–39 ) he says, “and prefers it to me ‘is not worthy of me.’ But the one who neglects this temporary life here and counts me and my commandments as much will find eternal life.”
Greek Ὁ τὴν ἐνθάδε πρόσκαιρον ζωὴν ἀγαπῶν, φησίν, καὶ ἐμοῦ προ τιμῶν "οὐκ ἔστιν μου ἄξιος"· ὁ δὲ τῆς ἐνταῦθα προσκαίρου ζωῆς ἀμε λήσας καὶ περὶ πολλοῦ ποιούμενος ἐμὲ καὶ τὰς ἐμὰς ἐντολὰς ζωὴν εὑρή σει αἰώνιον.
