Alexander of Alexandria

Section 6

About this work

Author: Alexander of Alexandria

6. Since, therefore, our Lord and Saviour

‹ Section 5 Part 3 · Introduction ›

Jesus

Christ

has

thus

Himself

exhorted

us

,

and

by

His

apostle

hath

signified

such

things

to

us

;

we

,

who

have

heard

their

impiety

with

our

own

ears

,

have

consistently

anathematized

such

men

,

as

I

have

already

said

,

and

have

declared

them

to

be

aliens

from

the

Catholic

Church

and

faith

,

and

we

have

made

known

the

thing

,

beloved

and

most

honoured

fellow

-

ministers

,

to

your

piety

,

that

you

should

not

receive

any

of

them

,

should

they

venture

rashly

to

come

unto

you

,

and

that

you

should

not

trust

Eusebius

or

any

one

else

who

writes

concerning

them

.

For

it

becomes

us

as

Christians

to

turn

with

aversion

from

all

who

speak

or

think

against

Christ

,

as

the

adversaries

of

God

and

the

destroyers

of

souls

,

and

“

not

even

to

wish

them

Godspeed

,

lest

at

any

time

we

become

partakers

of

their

evil

deeds

,

”

as

the

blessed

John

enjoins

.

Salute

the

brethren

who

are

with

you

.

Those

who

are

with

me

salute

you

.
