CHAPTER 

 :  But I have learned that certain persons passed

through you from yonder, bringing evil doctrine; whom

ye suffered not to sow seed in you, for ye stopped

your ears, so that ye might not receive the seed sown

by them; forasmuch as ye are stones of a temple, which

were prepared beforehand for a building of God the

Father, being hoisted up to the heights through the

engine of Jesus Christ, which is the Cross, and using

for a rope the Holy Spirit; while your faith is your

windlass, and love is the way that leadeth up to God.

 :  So then ye are all companions in the way,

carrying your God and your shrine, your Christ and

your holy things, being arrayed from head to foot in

the commandments of Jesus Christ. And I too, taking

part in the festivity, am permitted by letter to bear

you company and to rejoice with you, that ye set not

your love on anything after the common life of men,

but only on God.
