Matthew 6:21
What a person has set before himself, that he also thinks and works at most readily, and strives to set it right. This is found more clearly of the heart when he leads the saying from intelligible things out to sensible ones (Matthew 6:21).
Greek
Ὃ προέθετό τις, τοῦτο καὶ νοεῖ καὶ ἐργάζεται ἑτοιμότατα καὶ κατορθοῦν σπουδάζει· ὅπερ τῆς καρδίας εὑρίσκεται σαφέστερον ἀπὸ τῶν νοητῶν ἐπὶ τὰ αἰσθητὰ ἐξάγων τὸν λόγον καὶ λέγων.
