CHAPTER 

 :  I do not command you, as though I were somewhat.

For even though I am in bonds for the Name's sake, I

am not yet perfected in Jesus Christ. [For] now am I

beginning to be a disciple; and I speak to you as to

my school-fellows. For I ought to be trained by you

for the contest in faith, in admonition, in endurance,

in long-suffering.

 :  But, since love doth not suffer me to be silent

concerning you, therefore was I forward to exhort you,

that ye run in harmony with the mind of God: for Jesus

Christ also, our inseparable life, is the mind of the

Father, even as the bishops that are settled in the

farthest parts of the earth are in the mind of Jesus

Christ.
