Church History 6.3.10

Eusebius of Caesarea · Church History · ca. 300–325 · Caesarea · Read in context

Summary: He literally kept Christ's commands about one coat, no shoes, and no anxiety for tomorrow.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:245

πάντων δὲ μάλιστα τὰς εὐαγγελικὰς τοῦ σωτῆρος φωνὰς φυλακτέας εἶναι ᾤετο δεῖν, τάς τε περὶ τοῦ μὴ δύο χιτῶνας μηδʼ ὑποδήμασι χρῆσθαι παραινούσας, μηδὲ μὴν ταῖς περὶ τοῦ μέλλοντος χρόνου φροντίσι κατατρίβεσθαι.

English · Claude translation

Above all he thought that the Saviour's words in the Gospel should be kept, those which counsel not to have two coats nor to use shoes, nor to be worn out with cares about the future.
