Orthodox Catechism, Q. 107


Q. 107. What doth God require in the first Commandment?
A. That as dearly as I render the Salvation of my own Soul, so earnestly should I shun and fly (c) all Idolatry, Sorcery, (d) Inchantments, Superstition, praying to Saints, or any (e) other Creatures, and should (f) rightly acknowledging the only and true God (g), trust in him (h) alone, submit and subject my self unto him with all (i) Humility, and (k) Patience, look for all good things from him alone, and lastly with the intire Affection of my Heart (l) love, (m) reverence, and (n) worship him, so that I am ready to renounce and forsake all Creatures rather (o) than to commit the least thing that may be against his will.
