Is
it not true that you promise those who keep your commandments a
reward more desirable than great wealth and sweeter than honey? You
promise a most abundant reward, for as your apostle James says: “The
Lord has prepared a crown of life for those who love him.” What is
this crown of life? It is surely a greater good than we can conceive
of or desire, as Saint Paul says, quoting Isaiah: “Eye has not
seen, ear has not heard, nor has it so much as dawned on man what God
has prepared for those who love him.
