According to the measure of his faith the understanding of mysteries is divided to every man, and the virtues of knowledge will also be added to them.
It goes on: “For he that hath, to him shall be given;” that is, he who hath faith shall have virtue, and he who hath obedience to the word, shall also have the understanding of the mystery. Again, he who, on the other hand, has not faith, fails in virtue; and he who has not obedience to the word, shall not have the understanding of it; and if he does not understand, he might as well not have heard.
