Do not say, I cannot help others; if you are truly a Christian, it is impossible for you not to be able to do so ... If we act properly, everything else will follow as a natural consequence. Christians' light cannot be hidden, a lamp so brilliant cannot fail to be seen.

St John Chrysostom, quoted in The Navarre Bible: Captivity Letters, commentary on Ephesians 5:8-9
