A hymn written by a convert to Rome for the Catholic martyrs of England became the anthem of Protestant loyalty to inherited belief, and it travels that easily because it names no doctrine at all. Paul had a faith of his fathers too. He was exceedingly zealous of it, and he counted the whole inheritance loss.

Philippians 2:14-15 rightly divided. The command to do all things without murmurings touches the walk, not the standing. You are a son of God and a light already, by grace. Murmuring cannot dim the light; it only gives the world a complaint and muffles the word of life you hold forth.
