Purloining

"'A hundred measures of oil,' he answered. "He said to him, 'Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty."

This he said not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, carrying the purse,

kept back some of the purchase price, with the connivance of his wife. He brought only a part and laid it at the apostles' feet.

Shewing

"Who, then, is the faithful and prudent slave, to whom his master has entrusted his household, to give them their food in due season?

"The man who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is unjust in a very little, is unjust also as much.

Now it is required of stewards, that a man be found faithful.

Adorn

"So let your light shine before men that they may see good you do, and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

I summon you then, I the prisoner in the Lord, to live lives worthy of the calling to which you were called.

Only do lead lives worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come to see you or hear reports concerning you in my absence, I may know that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul, enlisted in a common struggle for the faith of the gospel,

that you may become blameless and innocent, the sons of God, without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like stars in a dark world,

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if virtue is anything, if honor is anything, be always thinking about these.

Let your manner of life before the Gentiles be honest; so that, although they are now slandering you as evil-doers, they may, by beholding your noble conduct, come to glorify God, in the day of visitation.

See that you have a clear conscience, so that, although they speak of you as evil-doers, these libelers of your good Christian lives may be ashamed.

The doctrine

Let the elders who fill their offices well, be held worthy of twofold honor; especially those who have the task of preaching and teaching.

Let those who are under the yoke as slaves esteem their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teachings be not blasphemed.

Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son.

General references

Let each one of us try to make his neighbor happy for his good, unto his upbuilding.

On the contrary, we need those members of the body which seem to be weaker;
