Flee, therefore, those evil offshoots [of Satan], which produce
death bearing fruit, whereof if any one tastes, he instantly dies. For these men
are not the planting of the Father. For if they were, they would appear as
branches of the cross, and their fruit would be incorruptible. By it He calls
you through His passion, as being His members. The head, therefore, cannot be
born by itself, without its members; God, who is [the Saviour] Himself, having
promised their union.
Ignatius of Antioch
