Chapter 9

¹ The priests are good, but better is the high priest who has been entrusted with the holy of holies, who alone has been entrusted with the hidden things of God: he himself being the door of the Father, through which enter Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and the prophets and the apostles and the Church. All these things are for the unity of God.

² But the gospel has something distinctive: the advent of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, his passion, and his resurrection. For the beloved prophets proclaimed him, but the gospel is the completion of incorruption. All things together are good, if you believe in love.
