Tertullian On Exhortation to Chastity

For it is our duty so to walk in the Lord's discipline as is "worthy,"[58]

What more pleasant and sublime than now to kiss your lips, which with a glorious voice have confessed the Lord, to be looked upon even in presence by your eyes, which, despising the world, have become worthy[2]
