I told you, in my letter, not to associate with immoral people- - Not, of course, meaning men of the world who are in immoral, or who are covetous and grasping, or who worship idols; for then you would have to leave the world altogether. But, as things are, I say that you are not to associate with any one who, although a Brother in name, is immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or grasping-no, not even to sit at table with such people. read more.

Be sure of this, that in the last days difficult times will come. Men will be selfish, mercenary, boastful, haughty, and blasphemous; disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, impure, incapable of affection, merciless, slanderous, wanting in self-control, brutal, careless of the right, read more.

There are, indeed, many unruly persons--great talkers who deceive themselves, principally converts from Judaism, whose mouths ought to be stopped; for they upset whole households by teaching what they ought not to teach, merely to make questionable gains.

Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the Faith, and may pay no attention to Jewish legends, or to the directions of those who turn their backs upon the Truth.

They profess to know God, but by their actions they disown him. They are degraded and self-willed; and, as far as anything good is concerned, they are utterly worthless.

The object of all instruction is to call forth that love which comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith. read more.
And it is because they have not aimed at these things that the attention of certain people has been diverted to unprofitable subjects. They want to be Teachers of the Law, and yet do not understand either the words they use, or the subjects on which they speak so confidently.
