together

Just as tools without the workmen and the wokmen without tools are unable to do anyting, just so neither is faith without the fulfillment of the commandments, nor the fulfillment of the commandments without faith able to renew and recreate us, nor make us new men from the old. But, whenever we do possess both within a heart free of doubt, then we shall become the Master's vessels, be made fit for the reception of the spiritual myrrh. --Saint Symeon the New Theologian (+ 1022)
