Matthew 11:30
Christ’s yoke is light, because he does not punish us as the law does, demanding what is sinless and free of passion. In simple words he holds out the promise and the pattern of virtue.
Greek
Ὁ δεχόμενος, φησίν, ὑμᾶς τοὺς τὴν ἀλήθειαν κηρύσσοντας αὐτὴν ἐκείνην δέχεται τὴν θεότητα, τοῦτ' ἔστιν τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὸν υἱὸν καὶ τὸ ἅγιον πνεῦμα· τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν, ὅ φησιν· ὁ δεχόμενος ὑμᾶς ἐμὲ δέχεται, καὶ ὁ ἐμὲ δεχόμενος αὐτὸν τὸν πατέρα δέχεται.
