Fragments on Matthew · §38

Matthew 5:14

“A city cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14): those established on the faith as on a high mountain ought not to speak the word secretly or with cowardice.

Greek

Τὸ δὲ οὐ δύναται πόλις· οἱ ἐπὶ τῇ πίστει ἱδρυμένοι ὡς ἐπ' ὄρους ὑψηλοῦ οὐκ ὀφείλουσι λαθραίως ἢ μετὰ δειλίας λαλεῖν τὸν λόγον.
