6: Of course, to hunger and thirst after something implies a lack of it. Those who have such an attitude towards righteousness do not flatter themselves with the pretense of possessing it. Instead, they afflict their souls with a constant desire for it that is as strong as the most basic of needs. Many do not see it this way. They see righteousness as a burden rather than a pleasure. However, as our daily food, though it must be worked for, righteousness may be enjoyed very much. Those who see it this way will be the recipients of it, according to Christ.
