إحرص على طهـــارة جســــدك
وسلامة قلبك فإنك إن تحققـت
من نوالهما، أبصرت اللـه ربــك.
مارإفرايم السرياني

Observe the purity of your body and the peace of your heart, for if you acquire them you will see the Lord your God.

حفظ الحـــواس يقلـــع الخطايـــا وحفــــظ
القلب يقطع الآلام التى تلد الخطايا
مارإسحق السرياني

Guarding the senses casts out sin and guarding the heart slashes the pain that begets sin.

-St. Ephraim the Syrian
