But to adopt what is well\r\nsaid, and not to adopt the reverse, is caused not simply by faith, but\r\nby faith combined with knowledge. But if ignorance is want of training\r\nand of instruction, then teaching produces knowledge of divine and\r\nhuman things. But just as it is possible to live rightly in penury of\r\nthis world’s good things, so also in abundance.
