Chapter 6: Maintain Balance.
SINCE I HAVE SEEN ALL OF YOU IN FAITH AND LOVE: as previously mentioned, I encourage you to strive to do everything with divine harmony. Let your bishop lead in the place of God, and your presbyters in the place of the assembly of the apostles, along with your deacons who are very dear to me and are entrusted with the ministry of Jesus Christ. He, being begotten by the Father before the beginning of time, was God the Word, the only-begotten Son, and remains the same forever, for “of His kingdom there shall be no end,” says Daniel the prophet. Let us all, therefore, love one another in harmony, and let no one regard their neighbor according to the flesh, but in Christ Jesus. Let nothing among you cause division; instead, be united with your bishop, being through him subject to God in Christ.
