Letter 256
To Paul the Decemprimus. [decemprimus: one of the ten chief decurions of a municipal council]
"Behold, I and the children," Christ the Savior cried out through Isaiah [Isaiah 8:18, applied to Christ in Hebrews 2:13]. For the Savior is said to have conversed with the saints as with children, in proportion to what they were able to receive, and to have ministered to the others through them; for in comparison with the perfection of Christ, all the saints turn out to be children.

« Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ καὶ τὰ παιδία μου, » Χριστὸς ὁ Σωτὴρ ἐβόα διὰ τοῦ Ἠσαΐου. Ὡς γὰρ παιδίοις διελέχθαι ὁ Σωτὴρ τοῖς ἁγίοις, ὅσα χωρῆσαι ἐδύναντο, καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις διακονῆσαι· πρὸς γὰρ τὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ τελειότητα, πάντες οἱ ἅγιοι παιδία τυγχάνουσιν.
