| | Ulfilas lived longenough to see what the end must be. | | | , " filium similem esse patri suo." This Arian form of Christianity was imparted by Ulfilas and his disciples to most of the tribes of the Gothic stock, and persisted among them, in spite of persecution, for two centuries. | | | During the preceding century Christianity had been planted sporadically among the Goths beyond the Danube, through the agency in part of Christian captives, many of whom belonged to the order of clergy, and in part of merchants and traders. |

| | It was this Ulfilas who led the exodus of the pious ones, being the first bishop appointed among them. | | | Now the pious band of prisoners, living as they did among the barbarians, converted many of them to the way of piety and persuaded them to adopt the Christian faith instead of the pagan. | | | (Philostorgius) says that at this time Ulfilas led a large body of the Scythians (Goths) from those living across the Ister (the people whom in olden times they called Getae, but now call Goths) to the land of the Romans, driven through piety from their own homes. |

| | Philostorgius and Socrates exaggerate his services when they ascribe to him the absolute invention of this new script; but there is little doubt that he formed it expressly to commit to writing his version of the Bible. | | | Ulfilas himself runs thus: " I, Ulfilas, bishop and | | | council of Aquileia, Ulfilas and other bishops went |

| | Ulfilas -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
| | Of the life of the early Christian bishop Ulfilas little is known. | | | The Gothic alphabet had 27 letters, 19 or 20 of which were derived from Greek uncial script, 5 or 6 modified slightly from Latin, and 2 either borrowed from runic... | | | Although his life cannot be reconstructed with certainty, fragments have come from 4th- and 5th-century ecclesiastical historians. |

| | Latin Vulgate (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) |
| | For English-speaking students it possesses peculiar interest as the source of the earlier translations made by the Venerable Bede, and portions of the Old Testament were translated in the 10th century from the Vulgate by Ælfric. | | | It has also proved of primary importance as an early and excellent witness to the sacred text. | | | Add to this that "directly or indirectly it is the real parent of all the vernacular versions of Western Europe" except the Gothic of Ulfilas. |

| | After they had been "Christianized," Ulfilas (311-382), their bishop, saw they needed the Bible in their own tongue, "to speak to their hearts." | | | The Visigoths, or West Goths, a warlike people, lived along the Roman frontier west of the Black Sea. | | | It was largely due to the work of Ulfilas that these plunderers became peacemakers. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ulfilas |
| | As a young man he was sent to that city either as a hostage or an ambassador, and, after occupying for some time the position of lector in the church, he was consecrated bishop in his thirtieth year by the celebrated Arian bishop of Nicomedia, Eusebius. | | | There seems to be no valid reason for thinking Ulfilas was not born a Christian (Hodgkin places his conversion during his residence at Constantinople). | | | It may be said in extenuation of this fault that he was a victim of circumstances in coming under none but Arian and semi-Arian influences during his residence at Constantinople; but he persisted in the error until the end of his life. |
