Shepherd of Hermas quotation

The early Christian writing is quoted/cited in St. Irenaeus of Lyons'

ADVERSUS HAERESES (Against the Heresies) : [Book 4, ch. 20]

Correctly, then has the WRITING

expressed itself that says:

"FIRST of all believe that there

is one GOD, who established all

things and adorned them, having

created all things out of nothing

that they might have existence.  

He comprehends all things

but is comprehended by no one!"

Shepherd of Hermas, #2, Sim. 1

translated by Dominic Unger for

ACW volume 72 [books 4-5

of Irenaeus' systematic work]
