Therefore, if I come, I will remember his works which he does, prating against us with malicious words: and not content with these things, he does not himself receive the brethren, but both for bids those who are willing, and casts them out of the church.

Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He that does good is of God: he that does evil has not seen God.

I had many things to write, but I will not communicate them to you with ink and pen.
