Lactantius: "We are bound"

“FOR we are created on this condition, that we pay just and due obedience to God who created us, that we should know and follow Him alone. We are ‘bound’ and ‘tied’ to God by this ‘chain of piety’; from which ‘religion’ itself received its name.”

~Lactantius: Divine Institutes, 4, 28.
