Chapter LXVI.—Danger of Disobedience.

“And your work is to order what things are proper;

‹ Chapter 65 Chapter 67 ›

and

that

of

the

brethren

is

to

submit

,

and

not

to

disobey

.

Therefore

submitting

they

shall

be

saved

,

but

disobeying

they

shall

be

punished

by

the

Lord

,

because

the

president

is

entrusted

with

the

place

of

Christ

.

Wherefore

,

indeed

,

honour

or

contempt

shown

to

the

president

is

handed

on

to

Christ

,

and

from

Christ

to

God

.

And

this

I

have

said

,

that

these

brethren

may

not

be

ignorant

of

the

danger

they

incur

by

disobedience

to

you

,

because

whosoever

disobeys

your

orders

,

disobeys

Christ

;

and

he

who

disobeys

Christ

offends

God

.
