Chapter 6: Maintain Balance.
SINCE THEREFORE I HAVE: in the people previously mentioned, seen all of you in faith and love, I urge you to strive to do everything with a divine harmony, while your bishop leads in the place of God, and your presbyters in the place of the assembly of the apostles, along with your deacons, who are most dear to me and are entrusted with the ministry of Jesus Christ, who was with the Father before the beginning of time and was revealed in the end. Do you all then, imitating the same divine conduct, show respect to one another, and let no one view their neighbor in a worldly way, but do you continually love each other in Jesus Christ. Let nothing exist among you that may divide you; but be united with your bishop and those that lead you as a type and evidence of your immortality.
