CONFESSIONS INDEX
BOOK

CHAPTER
XI
17. And I viewed all the other things that are beneath thee,
and I realized that they are neither wholly real nor wholly
unreal. They are real in so far as they come from thee;
but they are unreal in so far as they are not what thou
art. For that is truly real which remains immutable. It
is good, then, for me to hold fast to God, for if I do not
remain in him, neither shall I abide in myself; but he,
remaining in himself, renews all things. And thou art the
Lord my God, since thou standest in no need of my goodness.
