Let Us Conquer the World, Let Us Run To Immortality | John Chrysostom | Unseen Warfare | Ascetic Christian | Orthodox Spiral NotebookWe therefore are not mortal, because of our struggle with death, but we are immortal, because of our victory Does death corrupt our bodies?

Let us then conquer the world; let us run to immortality; let us follow our King; let us also set up a trophy; let us despise the world's pleasures. We need no toil to do so. Let us transfer our souls to heaven, and all

confess their sins and pray for the city to be saved

I went forth to meet the invader
