About this work

Author: Theodotus

XX. Now the Lord with His precious blood redeems us,

‹ Section 19 Section 21 ›

freeing

us

from

our

old

bitter

masters

,

that

is

,

our

sins

,

on

account

of

which

the

spiritual

powers

of

wickedness

ruled

over

us

.

Accordingly

He

leads

us

into

the

liberty

of

the

Father

,

—

sons

that

are

co

-

heirs

and

friends

.

“

For

,

”

says

the

Lord

,

“

they

that

do

the

will

of

my

Father

are

my

brethren

and

fellow

-

heirs

.

”

“

Call

no

man

,

therefore

,

father

to

yourselves

on

earth

.

”

For

it

is

masters

that

are

on

earth

.

But

in

heaven

is

the

Father

,

of

whom

is

the

whole

family

,

both

in

heaven

and

on

earth

.

For

love

rules

willing

hearts

,

but

fear

the

unwilling

.

One

kind

of

fear

is

base

;

but

the

other

,

leading

us

as

a

pedagogue

to

good

,

brings

us

to

Christ

,

and

is

saving

.
