STAND FIRM: brothers, in the faith of Jesus Christ, and in His love, in His passion, and in His resurrection. Come together both collectively and individually, through grace, in one faith of God the Father, and of Jesus Christ His only-begotten Son, and “the first-born of every creature,” but of the seed of David according to the flesh, being under the guidance of the Comforter, in obedience to the bishop and the presbytery with an undivided mind, breaking one and the same bread, which is the medicine of immortality and the antidote which prevents us from dying, but a cleansing remedy driving away evil, resulting in us living in God through Jesus Christ.
