Testament of Our Lord

tr. Cooper and Maclean, 1902

13. Book I, Chapter 13

Then those who fear My words, and do them in truth and with a faithful mind, shall watch and pray¹ without ceasing,² reckoning continual supplication as a work, in nothing wandering or going about³ in this world, and in nothing anxious, but with an austere soul and a mind that doubteth not, daily taking on them the cross,⁴ to do the will of My Father which is in heaven, with a meek heart. For He who is anxious about them that trust in the truth, and careth for them,⁵ is the Lord; and He sendeth to them those things which are right and fitting—those things which He knoweth, and by the hands of them whom He knoweth.
