On Pascha · §1.91

The head with the feet and the inwards

And those who partake of the thighs keep the flesh undefiled, following wherever Christ goes. Those of the feet, no longer being sluggish, run with zeal toward the prize of the upward calling of Christ. And the head would be the faith, and the feet the works, without which faith is dead.

Greek

ὅσοι δὲ μεταλαμβάνουσι τῶν μηρῶν ἀμόλυντον τὴν σάρκα φυλάττουσιν ἀκολουθοῦντες ὅπου ἂν ὑπάγῃ X(ριστό)ς· οἱ δὲ τῶν ποδῶν, μηκέτι ὄντες ὀκνηροὶ τῇ σπουδῇ τρέχουσιν εἰς τὸ βραβεῖον τῆς ἄνω κλήσεως τοῦ X(ριστο)ῦ· εἴεν δ' ἂν καὶ κεφαλὴ μὲν ἡ πίστις, πόδες δὲ τὰ ἔργα, ὧν χωρὶς ἡ πίστις νεκρά ἐστι.||
