ill raise us from the dead;
and that if we shall walk worthy of him, we shall also reign together
with him, if we believe.

In like manner the younger men must be unblamable in all things; above
all, taking care of their purity, and to restrain themselves from all
evil. For it is good to be cut off from the lusts that are in the world,
because every such lust warreth against the Spirit; and neither
fornicators, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
shall inherit the kingdom of God; nor they who do such things as are
foolish and unreasonable. Wherefore ye must needs abstain from all these
things, being subject to the priests and deacons, as unto God and
Christ. The virgins admonish to walk in a spotless and pure conscience.
And let the elders be compassionate and merciful toward all; turning
them from their errors; seeking out those that are weak; not forgetting
the widows, the fatherless, and the poor; but always providing what is
good both in the sight of God and man. Abstaining from all wrath,
respect of persons, and unrighteous judgment; and especially being free
from all covetousness. Not easy to believe anything against any; not
severe in judgment; knowing that we are all debtors in point of sin.

If, therefore, we pray to the Lord that he would forgive us, we ought
also to forgive others; for we are all in the sight of our Lord and God;
and must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ; and shall every
one give an account of himself. Let us, therefore, serve him in fear,
and with all reverence as both himself hath commanded, and as the
apostles who have preached the gospel unto us, and the prophets who have
foretold the coming of our Lord have taught us. Being zealous of what is
good; abstaining from all offence, and from false brethren; and from
those who bear the name of Christ in hypocrisy; who deceive vain men.

For whosoever does not confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh,
he is antichrist; and whoever does not confess his suffering upon the
cross is from the devil. And whosoever perverts the oracles of the Lord
to his own lusts, and says that there shall neither be any resurrection,
nor judgment, he is the first-born of Satan. Wherefore, leaving the
vanity of many and their false doctrines, let us return to the word that
was delivered to us from the beginning. Watching unto prayer, and
persevering in fasting. With supplication beseeching the all-seeing God
not to lead us into
