These words spoken in the treasury; offerings as intelligible gift
Since the common good is helped in two ways — by words and by the deeds the righteous do — those deeds too are well referred to the intelligible treasury.
Greek
Ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπίασεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.
ἐπεὶ δὲ ἔστιν ὠφεληθῆναι τὸ κοινὸν διχῶς, ἀπό τε λόγων καὶ ἀπὸ πράξεων ὧν ὁ δίκαιος πράττει, καλῶς καὶ αὐταὶ ἀναφέρονται εἰς τὸ νοητὸν γαζοφυλάκιον.
