If anyone does not refrain from the love of money, he will be defiled by idolatry and so be judged as if he were one of the heathen.
— Polycarp
Beware of greed and remain pure and just. Restrain yourself from every vice. He who cannot restrain himself, how will he be able to teach others restraint?
— Polycarp
I exhort you, press on in your course, and exhort all men that they may be saved.
