Chapter 10: Encouragements to Prayer, Humility, etc.

AND PRAY WITHOUT CEASING ON BEHALF OF OTHER PEOPLE: For there is hope of repentance in them that they may attain to God. See, then, that they are instructed by your works, if in no other way. Be meek in response to their wrath, humble in opposition to their boasting; return your prayers for their blasphemies; be steadfast in the faith in contrast to their error; and manifest your gentleness for their cruelty. While we take care not to imitate their conduct, let us be found their brethren in all true kindness; and let us seek to be followers of the Lord (who was ever more unjustly treated, more destitute, more condemned?), so that no plant of the devil may be found in you, but you may remain in all holiness and sobriety in Jesus Christ, both with respect to the flesh and spirit.
