ΔΙΜΗΝ ἐστιν ἀκύμαντος, καὶ τεῖχος ἀρραγὲς, καὶ πύργος ἄσειστος, καὶ δόξα ἀναφαίρετος, καὶ ὅ πλα
ἄτρωτα, καὶ εὐθυμία ἀμάραντος, καὶ ἡδονὴ διηνεκὴς, καὶ πάντα οσα ἄν ἔιποι τὶς καλὰ, τῶν θείων γραφῶν
η συνεσία.-CHRYSOSTOM.

[An intimate acquaintance with the Holy Scriptures is a secure haven, and an impregnable bulwark,
and an immovable tower, and imperishable glory, and impenetrable armour, and unfading joy
and perpetual delight, and whatever other excellence can be uttered.]
