I ask this question of you, brethren and sistren, answer me, Whether you think greater - the word of God or the body of Christ? If you will answer the truth, verily you ought to say thus, that the word of God is no less than the body of Christ. And therefore with what carefulness we take heed, when the body of Christ is ministered unto us, that no part thereof fall out of our hands on the earth, with as great carefulness let us take heed, that the word of God which is ministered unto us, when we think or speak of vain matters, perish not out of our hearts. For he that heareth the word of God negligently, shall be guilty of no less fault, than he that suffereth the body of Christ to fall upon the ground through his negligence."
Saint Augustine of Hipona
