About this work

Author: Pseudonymous letter writer

Chapter XVII.—The People’s Duties.

Having said this, and more than this, he looked again

‹ Chapter 16 Chapter 18 ›

upon

the

multitude

,

and

said

:

“

And

you

also

,

my

beloved

brethren

and

fellow

-

servants

,

be

subject

to

the

president

of

the

truth

in

all

things

,

knowing

this

,

that

he

who

grieves

him

has

not

received

Christ

,

with

whose

chair

he

has

been

entrusted

;

and

he

who

has

not

received

Christ

shall

be

regarded

as

having

despised

the

Father

;

wherefore

he

shall

be

cast

out

of

the

good

kingdom

.

On

this

account

,

endeavour

to

come

to

all

the

assemblies

,

lest

as

deserters

you

incur

the

charge

of

sin

through

the

disheartening

of

your

captain

.

Wherefore

all

of

you

think

before

all

else

of

the

things

that

relate

to

him

,

knowing

this

,

that

the

wicked

one

,

being

the

more

hostile

on

account

of

every

one

of

you

,

wars

against

him

alone

.

Do

you

therefore

strive

to

live

in

affection

towards

him

,

and

in

kindliness

towards

one

another

,

and

to

obey

him

,

in

order

that

both

he

may

be

comforted

and

you

may

be

saved

.
