They used to say about Abba Sarnaos that he laboured exceedingly hard, and that he only ate two bread-cakes each day. And when he came to Abba Job, who was a man that was perfect in the laborious work of active excellence, and who was also a man that practised stria self-denial and abstinence, he said to him, 'As long as I live in my cell I can observe my rule of life, but if I go outside my cell I make openly submission because of the brothers.' Then Abba Sarnaos said to him, 'To be able to keep hold upon your rule of life only so long as you are in your cell is no great act of spiritual excellence, but it would be if you could do so when you did go forth outside your cell.'
