Matthew 11:30
Christ’s yoke is light, because he does not punish us as the law does, demanding what is sinless and free of passion. In simple words he holds out the promise and the pattern of virtue (Matthew 11:30).
Greek
Ἐλαφρός ἐστιν ὁ ζυγὸς τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἐπεὶ οὐ κολάζει ἡμᾶς καθάπερ ὁ νόμος τὸ ἀναμάρτητον ἀπαιτῶν καὶ ἀπαθές, ἀλλ' ἐν ἁπλοῖς ῥήμασιν ἔχει τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν καὶ τὸν τῆς ἀρετῆς ὑπογραμμόν.
