Be within the Law
t is one thing
to be within the law and another thing to be under the law. Those who are
within the law act according to the law. Those who are under the law are
acted upon according to the law.
Therefore, those who are within the law are free; those who are under the law are slaves.
-- Commentary on Psalm 1, 2
Prayer. O God, you are the Truth and the Light of my heart. Let me listen to you and not to the darkness within me.
-- Confessions 12, 10
