Chapter 5: Their Dangerous Mistakes.
SOME IGNORANTLY DENY HIM: or rather have been denied by Him, being supporters of death rather than the truth. These people have been persuaded neither by the prophets, nor the law of Moses, nor the Gospel even to this day, nor by the sufferings we have personally endured. For they think the same thing about us. For what does anyone profit me if he praises me but blasphemes my Lord, not confessing that He truly had a body? But he who does not acknowledge this has, in fact, completely denied Him, being wrapped in death. However, I have not thought it good to write the names of such people, as they are unbelievers. Indeed, far be it from me to make any mention of them until they repent and return to a true belief in Christ’s passion, which is our resurrection.
