Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia XI
Be holy for I am holy§1
1Be holy, for I am holy. In Scripture “holy” names not only persons but places and vessels. Learn the name’s force to do its work.
Latin · §1
Sancti estote quia ego sanctus. Nomen sancti in scripturis non solum homines sed loca et vasa. Disce vim nominis ut opus impleas.
Keep my statutes§2
2Keep my statutes and do them. Hearing without doing is deaf. Who does the will remains.
Latin · §2
Custodite praecepta mea et facite ea. Auditus sine facto surdus. Qui facit voluntatem manet.
