1Chapter 15 — Exhortation to confess Christ by silence as well as speech.
2It is better for a man to be silent and be a Christian, than to talk and not to be one.
3It is good to teach, if he who speaks also acts.
4There is then one Teacher, who spake and it was done; while even those things which He did in silence are worthy of the Father.
5He who possesses the word of Jesus, is truly able to hear even His very silence, that he may be perfect, and may both act as he speaks, and be recognised by his silence.
6There is nothing which is hid from God, but our very secrets are near to Him.
7Let us therefore do all things as those who have Him dwelling in us, that we may be His temples, and He may be in us as our God, which indeed He is, and will manifest Himself before our faces.
8Wherefore we justly love Him.
9It is better for a man to be silent and be a Christian, than to talk and not to be one.
10"The kingdom of God is not in word, but in power".
11Men "believe with the heart, and confess with the mouth," the one "unto righteousness," the other "unto salvation".
12It is good to teach, if he who speaks also acts.
13For he who shall both "do and teach, the same shall be great in the kingdom".
14Our Lord and God, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, first did and then taught, as Luke testifies, "whose praise is in the Gospel through all the Churches".
15There is nothing which is hid from the Lord, but our very secrets are near to Him.
16Let us therefore do all things as those who have Him dwelling in us, that we may be His temples, and He may be in us as God.
17Let Christ speak in us, even as He did in Paul.
18Let the Holy Spirit teach us to speak the things of Christ in like manner as He did.
