Religion1. Mildness
1.1.Conditions
Ignatius of Antioch exhorts the community of Ephesus to stay myths in front of the men full of anger,5 while Polycarp invokes God Father and Jesus Christ because they edify the philippians âin every mildness".6 For Polycarp God Father and Jesus Christ are conditions of the edification of the community of Phillip in the mildness. According to Hermas God Father, welcomed in the heart of those who are "vain and light in the faith",7 allows to believe "that nothing is easier, more dessert and milder than these preceptsâ8 given by the angel of the penitence. These precepts are mild and condition because the men believe in these through their faith in Christ. Referring to the scriptural testimonium of Is 66,2 Clement of Rome admonishes the Corinthians to reinforce oneself in the commandment of the mercy
and in these precepts, to proceed humbles and obedient to his holy words. It says his holy word: 4 «to whom I will turn the look if not to the mild one, to the pacific one and to whom fears my words?» (Is 66,2).9
1.2.Effects
Ignatius of Antioch realizes that impatience fights him and that therefore he has "need of mildness in which it is won the prince of this world".10 With the mildness, according to Ignatius, it is won the evil. Parallelly God "in the mildness and in the goodness as a king sends his son, he sent him as God and as man for the men".11 The effect of the mildness of God is, for the anonymous author, the sending of the Son for the salvation of the man: "he sent him as who saves, to persuade, for doing not violencing".12 Again Clement of Rome makes observe to the Corinthians that
who will have practised in humility, with constant mildness and without regret the commandments and the precepts given by God he will be placed and included in the number of the saved by Jesus Christ.13
