I have said it, and I say it again before I come, just as if I were with you on my second visit, though for the moment absent, I say to those who have been long sinning, as well as to all others--that if I come again, I shall spare no one.

To the People of God who are living abroad, dispersed throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,

I stir

But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this 'tent,' to rouse you by awakening memories of the past;

And that is my reason for reminding you to stir into flame that gift of God, which is yours through your ordination at my hands.

Pure

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Never ordain any one hastily, and take no part in the wrong-doing of others. Keep your life pure.

Now that, by your obedience to the Truth, you have purified your lives, so that there is growing up among you a genuine brotherly affection, love one another earnestly with all your hearts;

Way

I shall, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the Truth that you now hold.
