CHAPTER 

 :  And pray ye also without ceasing for the rest

of mankind (for there is in them a hope of

repentance), that they may find God. Therefore permit

them to take lessons at least from your works.

 :  Against their outbursts of wrath be ye meek;

against their proud words be ye humble; against their

railings set ye your prayers; against their errors be

ye _stedfast in the faith;_ against their fierceness

be ye gentle. And be not zealous to imitate them by

requital.

 :  Let us show ourselves their brothers by our

forbearance; but let us be zealous to be imitators of

the Lord, vying with each other who shall suffer the

greater wrong, who shall be defrauded, who shall be

set at nought; that no herb of the devil be found in

you: but in all purity and temperance abide ye in

Christ Jesus, with your flesh and with your spirit.
