It is clear that every member of the Church must come to fulness of likeness to Christ, even to identity.

On the day that you suffer on behalf of a man in any way, be it on behalf of the good or on behalf of the wicked, in body or in mind, deem yourself on that day to be a martyr and as one that has been deemed worthy of confessorship for the sake of Christ.
