When he came to him, the king said to him, 'Mercurius, was it not I who gave you this great honour and this dignity, making you general among all the rulers, because of your wisdom and the victory which our gods granted us in the war? How is it that you have turned the great affection I have for you into evil hatred, and have counted these great honours as nothing, despising the gods in this way, as we were instructed in piety?' Then the soldier of Christ, truly noble, put off the old man with his deeds, according to the word of Paul the apostle, having put on the new man, who was created according to God through baptism. The saint answered with a voice of gentleness and of courage, 'Let this kind of honour be yours. For if I went out to the war and fought, it was not I who conquered, but the Lord; it is he who granted me the victory. |
