N THIS THIRD VOLUME of our Pachomiana in English we have<br />
1 collected all those writings of Pachomius, Theodore, and Horsiesios<br />
that were not parts of the Life and did not belong to the corpus<br />
of the Rules.<br />
Most of these documents were unknown until very recently, and<br />
they bring important new light on pachomian spirituality. All of<br />
them-with the exception of one, translated in 1913-are here<br />
translated into English for the first time.<br />
wnmncjs OF pachomlus<br />
A. Instructiorn<br />
The catechesis, instruction on the Holy Scriptures, was a very<br />
important feature of pachomian cenohitism. The housemaster de.<br />
livered it to the monks of his house twice a week, on the fast days,<br />
and the superior of the local monastery three times a week, on Sat-<br />
urday evening and twice on Sunday. Pacomius and his successors<br />
at the head of the Koinonia gave also other instructions, either<br />
when they were visiting the brothers of the various monasteries or<br />
on special occasions like the celebration of the Passover at Phbow<br />
or the second general gathering of all the brothers at the end of the<br />
year. Some of these instructions have been used by the biographers<br />
and can be found in the Life. The manuscript tradition has also
2 Pachomian Koinonia 111<br />
preserved some of them as separate documents. It is these that we<br />
translate here. Of Pachomius we have two, a long catechesis<br />
concerning a spiteful monk, and a shorter one about the six days of<br />
the Passover. We did not translate the several fragmentary instruc-<br />
tions which we find in the fragments of the Thzid Sahidic Life.<br />
They are accretions, the authenticity of which is too doubtful.<br />
INSTRUCTION CONCERNING A SPITEFUL MONK<br />
The Coptic text of this instruction exists only in one manuscript,<br />
Bntwh Oraental 7024, fol. 181-49v. It was first published by<br />
E.A.W. Budge in 1913, with an English translation.' L.T. Lefort<br />
published a new edition of the Coptic text, with a French translation,<br />
in 1956.2<br />
There is no doubt that the original language of this text was<br />
cop ti^;^ but we have at least two manuscripts of an Arabic translation.<br />
One of them was used by L.T. Lefort in editing the Coptic<br />
text, and the other has been identified more recently by K. Samir.<br />
A complete analysis of all the Arabic collections of manuscripts<br />
will probably reveal yet a few more witnesses.'<br />
The instruction has integrated a large quotation from an homily<br />
by Athanasiu~.~ At the same time, from it comes an aphorism attributed<br />
to Evagrius Ponticu~.~ The manuscript tradition attributes<br />
this instruction to Pachomius. Budge did not question that attribution,<br />
and it has been defended by Crum and Lefort. In fact there is<br />
no doubt that it comes from a pachomian milieu and that it is,<br />
therefore, pachomian in character. But the fact that it contains a<br />
large quotation of Athanasius permits us to think that it could be a<br />
literary composition by a pachomian monk rather than an instruction<br />
actually given in that form by Pachomius himself. A few other<br />
elements of the instruction do not fit well into the context of pachomian<br />
cenobitism.'<br />
The instruction constitutes a good treatise on monastic ascesw,<br />
stressing the importance of all the monastic values: humility, detachment,<br />
simplicity, chastity. It insists especially on the need to<br />
Introduction 3<br />
forgive the brother who has offended us, and it is directed to 'a<br />
brother monk bearing a grudge against another'.<br />
INSTRUCTION ON THE SIX DAYS OF THE PASSOVER<br />
All the brothers of the pachomian Koinonia met every year at<br />
Phhow to celebrate the Passover together in the Word of God and<br />
by fasting. The meeting concluded with the celebration of the Re-<br />
surrection during the Easter Vigil, when catechumen monks were<br />
baptized. The superiors of the Koinonia customarily gave instruc-<br />
tions during these days. One of these instructions given by Pacho-<br />
mius on the Passover has been preserved, although only fragmen-<br />
tarily. The text of this fragment was published first by E. Am&<br />
neau in 1895,8 and again by L.T. Lefort in 1956.9<br />
There is no positive reason to doubt the pachomian character of<br />
this document either, although the last pan of the text does not fit<br />
well in a pachomian context: 'Let the wealthy women lay down<br />
their ornaments during these days of orr row."^<br />
B. Letters<br />
The Pachomiana latina contain the text of eleven letters of Pachomius,<br />
most of them extremely difficult to interpret." Till very<br />
recently these letters were known only in the Latin version; but in<br />
recent years the Greek and Coptic text of many of them has been<br />
discovered and published.<br />
In 1968 the Coptic text of letters 8, 10, and lla was published<br />
and translated in German by A. Hermann (letter 8) and A. Kropp<br />
(letters 10 and lla) among a series of Demotic and Coptic documents<br />
from the Cologne c~llection.'~ These letters were found on<br />
two folios of parchment from the fifth-sixth century. Neither the<br />
editors nor the reviewers were able at that time to identify these<br />
texts as pachomian letters. The identification was made by Hans<br />
Quecke in a communication to the eighteenth Deutscher 07iental-
4 Pachomian Koinonia 111 Introductzon 5<br />
wtentag in Liibeck in October 1972, where he also announced the<br />
discovery in the Chester Beatty Library of a Greek parchment of<br />
the fourth century containing the Greek translation of letters 1, 2,<br />
3, 7, and 10.lS That communication was published only in 1974,<br />
but a new translation of letters 8 and 10 from the Coptic text of<br />
Cologne was published by Hans Quecke in 1973.14 In 1974 he<br />
published a new discovery: fragments of letters 9a, 9b, 10, and llb<br />
as well as a cryptogram, all from Coptic fragments from the same<br />
Chester Beatty Library.15<br />
In 1975 Hans Quecke published the Greek text from the Chester<br />
Beatty Library (Ms W. 145) with a long and very careful analysis of<br />
all the related problems. An appendix gives all the known Coptic<br />
fragments.'@ This book, therefore, gathers in a practical format all<br />
the documents discovered during the preceding years.<br />
Lately a new Coptic fragment has been discovered among the<br />
Bodmer Papyri (n. XXXIX), giving the full text of letter llb.<br />
That text is still unpublished, but Hans Quecke had the kindness to<br />
provide us with a photocopy of themanuscript, along with his tran-<br />
scription of the Coptic text and a German translation.<br />
In our translation we have kept the numbering assigned these<br />
letters by Jerome; but the Coptic manuscript tradition knows thir-<br />
teen letters instead of eleven, both Jerome's ninth and eleventh let-<br />
ters being divided in two distinct documents.<br />
Hans Quecke has dedicated a full chapter of his Die Briefe Pa-<br />
choms. Gnechzscher Text. . to the questionof the authenticity of<br />
these letters. They certainly existed in Coptic at a very early stage,<br />
for we have a Greek translation preserved on a parchment of the<br />
fourth century. From a comparison between Jerome's version and<br />
the Coptic and Greek texts, we can deduce that Jerome had before<br />
his eyes a Greek text very similar to the one preserved in the Chester<br />
Beatty Library, although he paraphrased it at times, as he often<br />
did in his other translations. Jerome attributed these letters explic-<br />
itly to Pachomius, and Hans Quecke does not find any positive rea-<br />
son to doubt that affirmation although none of the letters, either in<br />
Greek or Coptic, bears a title attributing it to Pachomius. Per-<br />
sonally we consider that one is left here with the same uncertainty<br />
as prevails regarding the Pachomiana latzna in general.<br />
A difficnlt aspect of these letten is the use that many of them<br />
make of a mysterious language, or rather, their mysterious use of the<br />
alphabet. All efforts made to decipher them remain unconvincing. l7<br />
Hans Quecke has made a very thorough study of all the aspects of<br />
this problem, but has been unable to find any clear answer.<br />
The nature of these letters still escapes us, but it is perhapsmuch<br />
less complicated than we think it is. It probably has something to<br />
do with the traditional love of the Egyptians for cryptograms, to<br />
which old Egyptian hieroglyphs lent themselves so well. The use of<br />
series of vowels and nonsense syllables is not rare either in the gnos-<br />
tic documents discovered in 1946 at Nag Hammadi, near the great<br />
basilica of St Pachomius at Phbow, and there could be some simi-<br />
larity or affinity between the two.LB<br />
In our translation of the letters, we have followed the Coptic text<br />
when it existed. When it did not, we have translated from the<br />
Greek for the letters existing in Greek. Otherwise we have followed<br />
the Latin version of Jerome.<br />
C. Fragments<br />
Two Coptic folios identified by Zoega (CLXXIV) were first published<br />
by E. Amelinea~.'~ L.T Lefort has made a newer edition.Po<br />
These folios belong to a series of miscellanea from an eleventh century<br />
manuscript. The third of the three fragments they contain is<br />
also found in the collection of Apophthegmata in Coptic, Greek,<br />
and Latin.2'<br />
To these three fragments we have added a fourth which has been<br />
attributed by L.T. Lefort to Horsiesios, but which must be<br />
restored to Pachomius.PP It is found on the recto of a folio on the<br />
verso of which we read the Prologue to the P~aecepta et Institutu<br />
that L.T. Lefort had also attributed to Horsiesios and that was<br />
identified by Heinrich Bacht as part of the pachomian Rule.P1
6 Pachomian Koinonia III<br />
WRltlnCjS OF th€060~€<br />
A. Instructions<br />
As is the case with Pachomius, several instructions given by<br />
Theodore were preserved in the Life. Three instructions however<br />
were transmitted as separate documents in the Coptic manuscript<br />
tradition. The first two are extremely fragmentary, but we have a<br />
fairly large section of the third one. They were published by Lefort<br />
in 1956.24 Apart from one of the nineteen folios that still exist of<br />
the third instruction, nothing of this had been published before.PL<br />
Although very short, the fragment of the second instruction is<br />
important because it is one of the texts in which the life of the Koinonia<br />
is explicitly called 'the life of the apostles', and Pachomius is<br />
proclaimed the father of the Koinonia after God and the apostles.<br />
The third instruction deals mostly with the theme of the Koinonia<br />
itself and, along with the Testament of Horsiesios (Libe~ Orsiesiz),<br />
is one of the two most articulate and most beautiful expressions<br />
of pachomian spirituality.<br />
B. Letters<br />
Of Theodore we have two letters, one preserved in Latin and the<br />
other in Coptic. The latter belongs to the handful of pachomian<br />
documents found in the Chester Beatty Library in D~blin.~' It was<br />
published and analysed by Hans Quecke in 1975.27 A. de Vogii6<br />
published a French translation accompanied by long and very<br />
useful annotations.P8 There is another manuscript of the same letter<br />
soon to be published by M. Krause.<br />
The archbishops of Alexandria used to publish every year a pastoral<br />
letter indicating the dates of the fast of forty days and the fast<br />
of the Passover, and convoking believers to the Easter celebration.<br />
The superiors of the pachomian Koznonia adopted the same practice.<br />
The first letter of Theodore- the one translated into Latin by<br />
Jerome-is one of these Easter letters inviting the brothers to gath-<br />
Introduction 7<br />
er together at Phbow for the Passover and exhorting the superiors<br />
as well as the brothers.Zg<br />
The second letter comes certainly from a successor of Pacho-<br />
mius. H. Quecke found several good reasons to attribute it to Hor-<br />
siesios, although he did so with some hesitation. But a second<br />
manuscript of the same text was later discovered by Krause and it<br />
bears a title attributing the letter to Theodore: 'This is the letter<br />
from our father Theodore for the Remission'. This title expresses<br />
also the occasion of the letter. It is a letter of convocation to the sec-<br />
ond annual meeting of the pachomian monks, at the end of the<br />
year according to the egyptian calendar. It begins exactly like the<br />
seventh letter of Pachomius, which was also a letter of convocation<br />
to the general assembly of the end of the year.<br />
C. Fragments<br />
The manuscript containing the three first fragments from Pa-<br />
chomius mentioned above gives also a very short fragment from<br />
Theodore. It was published first by E. Amelinean in 1895" and<br />
again by L.T. Lefort in 1956.3L<br />
A. Instructions<br />
From three manuscripts, the folios of which have been spread in<br />
various libraries from Paris, London, Vienna, and Leyde to Cairo,<br />
L.T. Lefort has published a certain number of fragments which<br />
have some chance of being parts of instructions by EIorsie~ios.~P We<br />
have translated here all of them except the last one, which Lefort attributed<br />
to Horsiesios hut which must be restored to Pachomius. The<br />
first of these texts is an almost complete instruction and is quite in<br />
Horsiesios' style. The others are more fragmentary. The seventh,<br />
which is a strange diatribe against friendship, does not correspond
8 Pachomian Koinonia 111<br />
much to Horsiesios' usual line of thought. Its authenticity remains<br />
somewhat doubtful.<br />
B. Letters<br />
Two letters from Horsiesios are found in a manuscript published<br />
first by Amelinea~~~ and again by Lefo~t.~' Two more were discovered<br />
among the Coptic codices of the Chester Beatty Library.<br />
The last of these letters- all very rich in biblical quotations- is addressed<br />
to Theodore. Several of the quotations are found in more<br />
than one letter and again in the Testament of Horsiesios. The two<br />
letters from the Dublin collection are still unpublished, but they<br />
have been translated into French by A. de V~giie.~~ For our translation<br />
of these two letters, we have used a transcription of the<br />
manuscript made by Tito Orlandi, with his kind permission. We<br />
were also able to check the text of the manuscript itself at the<br />
Chester Beatty Library in Dublin.<br />
C. Fragments<br />
From Horsiesios, as in the case of Pachomius and Theodore, Le-<br />
fort has published some texts from an unclassified folio, under the<br />
title 'excerpta'. We have translated them under the title<br />
t fragment^'.^'<br />
D. Testament of Homesios<br />
The 'Book of our father Horsiesios' (Lzber Orszeszz], also called<br />
the 'Testament of Horsiesios', is certainly his most important<br />
writing. It is also one of the most beautiful pieces of pachomian<br />
literature, and a faithful and complete expression of pachomian<br />
spirituality. It presupposes a situation of crisis similar to the one<br />
caused by Apollonios that obliged Horsiesios to resign as superior<br />
of the Koznonia But the end of the text leads us to think that it was<br />
written towards the end of Horsiesios' life, and is really his spiritual<br />
testament." It is a long call to conversion, to a total renunciation<br />
of any form of personal property, in order to arrive at a perfect<br />
communion with the brothers.<br />
Introduction 9<br />
Although we know this text only through Jerome's translati~n,~~<br />
its authenticity was never put in doubt. A very good annotated<br />
German translation was published by H. Bacht," who had written<br />
another good study of the document several years ear lie^.'^ There<br />
is also a French and a Spanish translation available." A few<br />
chapters (7-18 and 39-40) have also been translated into German<br />
by 0. Schule~.~~ As a basis for our own translation, we have used an<br />
English version made by Philip Timko, with his kind permission.<br />
At the end of his Oeuvres de s. Pachdme . . . L.T. Lefort has<br />
published a kind of apocalyptic text from another disciple of Pachomius<br />
called Caro~r.'~ We did not translate tbat text, first because<br />
it is not representative of the pachomian spirit, and then because<br />
its language is so colloquial that both Lefort and Cmm (consulted<br />
by Lefort) were unable to find the meaning of a great<br />
number of passages.<br />
Neither did we translate the Monita Sancti Pachomiipublished<br />
by A. Boon in his Pachomiana latina, because although Holstenius'<br />
published them with the Rules, they are not from Jerome, and still<br />
less from Pachomius.*'<br />
This volume ends with a series of Indices that cover the three<br />
volumes.<br />
The Biblical Index, by far the most important, is arranged in<br />
such a way tbat by looking at it the reader can know immediately<br />
not only the volume and the page where a biblical quotation or<br />
allusion is to be found, but also the document. This system did not<br />
seem required for the other indices
10 Pachomian Koinonia III<br />
The indices of the names of persons and of places list only the<br />
names mentioned in the pachomian documents themselves, and<br />
not those mentioned in the introductions or in the notes.<br />
The analytic index isvery detailed. This is consistent with our in-<br />
tention of providing the reader not only with solid material for<br />
spiritual reading but also with a useful tool for further research.<br />
And we hope indeed that our contribution to the knowledge of pa-<br />
chomian sources among English-speaking readers will give rise to a<br />
new interest in spiritual and scientific research on this beautiful<br />
segment of the monastic tradition.<br />

INSTRUCTION PRONOUNCED BY OUR MOST EXCELLENT<br />
HOLY FATHER, APA PACHOMIUS THE HOLY ARCHI-<br />
MANDRITE,' FOR A BROTHER MONK BEARING A GRUDGE TO<br />
ANOTHER. THIS HAPPENED IN THE TIME OF APA EBONH,<br />
BY WHOM HE WAS BROUGHT TO TABENNESI. [OUR FA-<br />
THER] ADDRESSED THESE WORDS TO HIM IN THE PRESENCE,<br />
AND TO THE GREAT JOY, OF OTHER ELDER FATHERS. IN<br />
THE PEACE OF GODI MAY HIS HOLY BLESSING AND THAT OF<br />
ALL THE SAINTS COME OVER us1 MAY WE ALL BE SAVED!<br />
AMEN.<br />
1. My son, listen and be wise,* accept the true<br />
doctrine,+ for there are two ways.'<br />
2. Be able to obey God like Abraham,' who<br />
abandoned his country,* went into exile, and with<br />
Isaac lived in a tent in the promised land as in a<br />
foreign country. He obeyed, humbled himself,<br />
and was given an inheritance; he was even put to<br />
the test over Isaac. He was courageous in trial<br />
and offered Isaac in sacrifice to God; and for that<br />
God called him his friend.2<br />

cob, his submission and his steadfastness, through<br />
which he became a light seeing the Father of the<br />
universe and was called Israel.<br />
5. Take as an example also the wisdom of JO-<br />
seph and hissubmission. Do battle in chastity and<br />
service until you make yourself a king.'<br />
6. My son, emulate the lives of the saints* and<br />
practise their virtues. Wake up and do not be<br />
negligent.+ Rouse up your fellow citizen for whom<br />
you have pledged yoursel$' Get up, do not stay<br />
among the dead; and Christ will shine on you2 and<br />
grace will blossom within you.<br />
7. It is patience that reveals every grace to you,<br />
and it is through patience that the saints received<br />
all that was promised them. Patience is the pride<br />
of the saints. Be patient, to be admitted to the<br />
saints' legion, confident that you will be given a<br />
crown that will never rust.<br />
8. A thought? Come to terms with it in pa-<br />
tience, waitingfor God to give you calm. Fasting?<br />
Put up with it in perseverance. Prayer? Without<br />
letup, in your room between you and God. One<br />
single heart with your brother. Virginity in all<br />
your members: virginity in your thoughts, purity<br />
of body, and purity of heart. Head bowed, and a<br />
humble heart; gentleness in the hour of anger.<br />
9. When a thought oppresses you, do not be<br />
downhearted, but put up with it in courage, say-<br />
ing, They swarmed around me closer and closer,<br />
but I drove them back in the name of the Lord.<br />
Divine help will arrive at your side immediately,<br />
and you will drive them away from you, and cour-<br />
age will compass yon round about, and the glory<br />
of God will walk with you; and you will be filled<br />
to your soul's desire. For the ways of God are hu-<br />

miiity of heart and gentleness. It is said indeed,<br />
Whom shall I conszder zf not the humble and<br />
the meek?' If you move ahead in the ways of the<br />
~ ~ he r will d watch over you, will give you<br />
strength, and will fill you with knowledge and<br />
wisdom. Your remembrance will remain before<br />
him at all times. He will deliver you from the<br />
devil, and in your dying day he will grant you his<br />
peace.<br />
10. My son, I ask you to be watchful and to be<br />
on your guard,' acquainted with those who lie in<br />
ambush against you. The spirit of cowardice and<br />
the spirit of distrust walk hand in hand; the spirit<br />
of lying and the spirit of deceit walk hand in<br />
hand; the spirits of greed and trafficking, of perjury<br />
and dishonesty, and that of jealousy walk<br />
hand in hand; the spirit of vanity and the spirit of<br />
gluttony walk hand in hand: the spirit of fornication<br />
and the spirit of impurity walk hand in<br />
hand: the spirit of enmity and the spirit of sadness<br />
walk hand in hand. Woe to the wretched<br />
soul in which they make their home and of which<br />
they make themselves masters. They hold such a<br />
soul far from God, because it is in their power. It<br />
sways from side to side till it ends in the abyss of<br />
hell.<br />
11. My son, obey me. Do not be negligent,<br />
gtve your eyes no sleep, your eyelzds no rest, so<br />
that you may break free bke a gazelle from the<br />
snares. For, 0 my son, all the spirits have attacked<br />
me often since my childhood. When I was<br />
in the desert they afflicted me to the point that I<br />
bout to lose heart and I thought I could not<br />

in every possible way. If I showed myself, he bat-<br />

tled me with flames; if I withdrew, he afflicted<br />
me with his insolence. Many a time my heart was<br />
in distress, and I turned from side to side and had<br />
no rest. When I fled to God with tears, humility,<br />
fasts, and vigils, then the enemy and all his spirits<br />
grew weak before me, God's courage came into<br />
me, and I experienced at once God's help. For in<br />
his mercy he makes his strength and goodness<br />
known to the sons of men.'<br />
12. My son, never condemn anyone. If you see<br />
someone being honored, do not say, 'He already<br />
has received his reward.' Guard yourself from<br />
such a thought, for it is very bad, and God detests<br />
the man who has praise only for himself, scorning<br />
his brother. The one whosays to himelfthat he is<br />
somebody, when he is nothing, is fooling him-<br />
self.' Who can help him in his pride? And when<br />
he presents himself after the manner of God, say-<br />
ing, There is no one like me, he wilt hear his cen-<br />
sure without delay, You willgo down to hell, you<br />
will be thrown in with the dead, rot will be spread<br />
over you, you will be covered with maggots. As<br />
for the man who has acquired humility, he has<br />
judged himself, saying that his sins are greater<br />
than those of any man. He judges no one and<br />
condemns no one. Who are you tojudge aservant<br />
that is not yours? The Lord can certainly raise up<br />
anyone who has fallen.P Keep watch over your-<br />
self, my son, condemn no one, taste all the vir-<br />
tues, and guard them.<br />
13. If you are a stranger, stay back, do not<br />
have recourse to the people, and do not meddle<br />
in their affairs. If you are poor, let nothing dis-<br />
courage you, lest it be said to you, Poverty is evil<br />
in the mouth of the godless. Nor should you ever<br />
The Instruc~ions of Samt Pachomiw<br />
hear, Sta~ving, you will become frenzied, and<br />
you will speak ill of the chief and the elders.<br />
watch, too, that no one foment battle with you<br />
something you lack, according to the flesh,<br />
in the matter of food. Do not become discouraged,<br />
be steadfast; surely God has already done<br />
something in secret. Think of Habakkuk in Judaea<br />
and of Daniel in Chaldea. Although a distance<br />
of forty-five stages separated them, andstill<br />
more-Daniel, put out as fodder for beasts,<br />
was at the bottom of the pit, Habakkuk brought<br />
him dinner.*' Think of Elijah in the desert?% and<br />
the widow at Zarephath. She was overcome by the<br />
pangs of famine and the anguish of hunger. In<br />
spite of such misery she was not at all fainthearted.<br />
On the contrary she fought, she conquered,<br />
and she got what God had promised: her<br />
house was in abundance during a time of famine.<br />
To give bread in a time of plenty is no generosity<br />
and to be discouraged at a time of need is not<br />
to be poor. Indeed, it is written of the saints that,<br />
they were destitute, afflicted, malt~eated,~ but<br />
they gloried in their afflictions. If you remain<br />
steadfast in the battle according to the Scriptures<br />
you will never undergo bondage; as it is written,<br />
No one should deceiue you in matters offood and<br />
drink or with regard to a festiual or a new moon<br />
or a sabbath. These are only a shadow of what is<br />
to come.<br />
14. Recite constantly the words of God. Put up<br />
with fatigue and be grateful for everything.'*<br />
Shun the praise of men and love the one who, in<br />
the fear of the Lord, reprimands you. Let every<br />
man be profitable to you so that you may be good<br />
to everyone. Persevere in your work, and in lan-<br />

page be above reproach. Do not take one step<br />
forward, then a step backward, that Godmay not<br />
detest you; for the crown shall go to the one who<br />
per~everes.~ Be ever more obedient to God, and<br />
he will save you.<br />
15. When you are among brothers, do not indulge<br />
in jesting. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego<br />
disregarded the jeering of Nebuchadnezzar,<br />
and therefore he could not draw them off by the<br />
melodies of his instruments or seduce them with<br />
the meals at his table. So they put out the flame<br />
that climbed forty-nine cubits high.' They did<br />
not turn crooked with the crooked, but stayed upright<br />
with the upright one, that is to say, with<br />
God. For this reason, He made them masters of<br />
their enemies. Daniel, in his turn, did not obey<br />
the evil reasonings of the Chaldeans. So he was<br />
specially chosen and found vigilant and prudent,<br />
and he closed the gullet of savage lions.<br />
16. And now, my son, if you take God as your<br />
hope, he will be your help in the time of your anguish;<br />
for anyone who comes to God must believe<br />
that he exists and that he rewards those who<br />
search for him. These words were written for us,<br />
that we may believe in God and do battle, great<br />
and little, by fastings, prayers, and other religious<br />
practices. God will not forget even the<br />
saliva that has dried in your mouth as a result of<br />
fasting. On the contrary, everything will be returned<br />
to you at the moment of your anguish.<br />
Only humble yourself in all things, hold hack<br />
your word even if you understand the whole affair.<br />
Do not quietly acquire the habit of abusing;<br />
on the contrary, joyfully put up with every trial.<br />
For if you knew the honor that results from trials<br />
The Instructions of Saint Pachomius<br />
you would not pray to be delivered from them,<br />
because it is preferable for you to pray, to weep,<br />
and to sigh until you are saved, rather than to<br />
relax and be led off a captive. 0 man, what are<br />
you doing in Babylon? You have grown old in an<br />
alien land' because you did not submit to the test<br />
and because your relations with God are not<br />
proper. Therefore, brother, you must not relax.<br />
17. Maybe you are a bit forgetful. But your en-<br />
emies have not fallen asleep, and night and day<br />
they do not forget to set traps for you. Do not seek<br />
after honors, then, so you will not be humiliated<br />
to the great joy of your enemies. Seek rather hu-<br />
mility, for he who exalts himselfwill be humbled,<br />
and he who humbles himself will be exalted.' If<br />
you cannot get along alone, join another who is<br />
living according to the Gospel of Christ, and you<br />
will make progress with him. Either listen, or sub-<br />
mit to one who listens; either be strong and be<br />
called Elijah, or obey the strong and be called<br />
Elisha. For obeying Elijah, Elisha received a dou-<br />
ble share of Elijah's spirit.<br />
18. If you wish to live among men, imitate<br />
Abraham, Lot, Moses, and Samuel. If you wish<br />
to live in the desert, all the prophets have led the<br />
way there before you. Be like them, wandering in<br />
the deserts, valleys and caves of the earth,<br />
plunged in misery, trials, and affliction. It is said<br />
again, The shadow of the parched and the spirit<br />
of the maltreated will blessyou. And then, for the<br />
thief on the cross- the one who spoke a word-<br />
the Lord forgave his sins and received him into<br />
paradise.' See what honor will be yours if you<br />
have steadfastness in the face of trial or of the<br />
spirit of fornication, or the spirit of pride, or any<br />

other passion. Do battle against diabolic passions,<br />
not to follow them, and Jesus will grant you<br />
what he has promised. Keep from negligence; it is<br />
the mother of all the vices.P<br />
19. My son, flee concupiscence.* It beclouds<br />
the mind and prevents it from coming to know<br />
the mystery of ~0d.t It makes you alien to the laupage<br />
of the Spirit and prevents you from carrying<br />
the Cross of Christ.' It does not permit the<br />
heart to be attentive to honoring God. Keep from<br />
the belly's inclination, which makes you alien to<br />
the goods of paradise. Keep from impurity, which<br />
irritates God and his angels.<br />
20. My son, turn to God,* and love him. Flee<br />
the enemy and despise him. May the graces of<br />
God come your way and may you inherit the blessing<br />
of Judah, son of Jacob. It is said, Judah, your<br />
brothers shall praise you, your hands will be on<br />
the back ofyour enemies, and the sons ofyour<br />
father shall be your servants. Keep away from<br />
pride, for it is the beginning of every evil. And the<br />
beginning of pride is keeping your distance from<br />
God, and hardening the heart is what follows. If<br />
you guard against this, your resting place will be<br />
the heavenly Jerusalem. If the Lord loves you and<br />
gives you glory, keep from becoming proud: on<br />
the contrary, persevere in humility and you will<br />
abide in the glory that God has given you. Watch<br />
out, be vigilant, for blessed is the one who is<br />
found watching, became he will be set over the<br />
possessions of his master, and he will enter into<br />
the kingdom with gladness. The friends of the<br />
bridegroom will love him, because they have<br />
found him keeping watch over his vineyard.<br />
21. My son, be merciful in all things, for it is<br />
The Instructions of Saint Pachomim<br />
,,,,.itten, Strive to be presented to God as having<br />
come through trial, like a workman whofears no<br />
&me. Approach God as one who sows and<br />
reaps, and into your granary you will gather<br />
~ ~ dgoods. ' s Do not pray with much show, in the<br />
manner of hypocrites, but give up your whims<br />
and do what you do for God, acting thus for your<br />
own salvation. If a passion arouses you, whether<br />
it is love of money, jealousy, or hatred and the<br />
other passions, watch out, have the heart of a<br />
lion, a strong heart. Fight against them, make<br />
them disappear like Sibon, Og, and all the kings<br />
of the Amorites. May the beloved Son, the Onlybegotten,<br />
Jesus the king, fight for you, and may<br />
you inherit enemy towns. Still, toss all pride far<br />
from your side, and be valiant. Look: when Joshua<br />
[sou] of Nun was valiant,' God delivered his<br />
enemies into his hands. If you are fainthearted,<br />
you become a stranger to the law of God. Faintheartedness<br />
fills you with pretexts for laziness,<br />
mistrust, and negligence, until you are destroyed.<br />
Be lion-hearted and shout, you as well,<br />
Who can separate wfrom the love ofGodfP And<br />
say, Though my outer self may dissolve, still my<br />
inner selfis renewedfrom day to day.<br />
22. If you are in the desert, do battle with<br />
prayers, fasting, and mortification. If you are<br />
among men, be wise as serpents and simple as<br />
doves.' If someone curses you, put up with him<br />
cheerfully, hoping that God will bring about<br />
what is best for you. As for yourself, do not curse<br />
the image of God.P It is he himself who said, The<br />
one who honors me, I will honor, and the one<br />
who curses me, I will curse.J If on the other band<br />
someone praises you, do not he happy about it for<br />

it is written, Woe to you ifallpmise you. Further-<br />
more, Blessed are you when you are snapped at<br />
and hounded, ifyour very name ir cast out as evil.<br />
Behold, our fathers Barnabas and Paul, too,<br />
when praised, rent their garments and beat<br />
themselves, out of scorn for human glory. Peter<br />
and John, too, when cursed before the Sanhed-<br />
rin, came out rejoicing for having deserved to be<br />
cursed for the Lord's holy name. Their hope was<br />
in the glory of heaven.<br />
23. As for you, my son, shun the satisfactions<br />
of this age, so as to be happy in the age to come.<br />
Do not be negligent, letting the days pass by till<br />
unexpectedly they come looking for you and you<br />
arrive at the straits of your anguish and the 'hor-<br />
ror-faces" surround you and drag you off violent-<br />
ly to their dark place of terror and anguish.* Do<br />
not be sad when you are cursed by men;t4 be sad<br />
and sigh when you sin-this is the true curse-<br />
and when you go away bearing the sore of your<br />
sins.<br />
24. I urge you from my heart to scorn vain-<br />
glory. Vanity is the devil's own weapon. This was<br />
how Eve was fooled; he told her, Eat the fruit of<br />
the tree; your eyes will open and you will be like<br />
gods.' She listened, thinking it was the truth. She<br />
ran after the glory of divinity and her very hu-<br />
manity was taken away. If you, too, seek vain-<br />
glory it will make you a stranger to the glory of<br />
God. As for Eve, no one wrote her to warn her of<br />
this battle before she was tempted by the devil.<br />
This is why the Word of God came and took flesh<br />
of the Virgin Mary, to free the race of Eve. But<br />
you have been warned of this battle in the Holy<br />
Scriptures, by the saints who have gone ahead of<br />
The Instructions of Saint Pachomiw<br />
you. Therefore, my brother, do not say, I have<br />
never heard of all this, or, I was not told of this<br />
yesterday or the day before yesterday. For it is<br />
written, Their voice goes out through all the<br />
earth, their words reach the ends of the universe.<br />
Now then, if you are praised, control your heart<br />
and give glory to God; and if you are cursed, give<br />
glory to God and thank him that you have been<br />
worthy to share the lot of his Son and of his saints.<br />
If your Master was called 'imposter',* the proph-<br />
ets 'contemptible',t and others 'madmen',: all<br />
the more should we, earth and ashes,* not com-<br />
plain when cursed. This is the way to your 1ife.t If<br />
you are led by your negligence, then weep and<br />
groan, for Those who were reared in the purple<br />
have been covered with dung, for neglecting the<br />
law of God and following their own whims. Now<br />
then, my son, weep before the Lord at every hour,<br />
for it is written, Happy the man you have chosen<br />
and adopted! You have placed thoughts in hk<br />
heart in the ualley of weeping, the place you have<br />
prepared.<br />
25. Become guileless and be like the guileless<br />
sheep whose wool is sheared off without their say-<br />
