Epistle to the Smyrnaeans (Short Version)

Let no one deceive themselves. Both the things in heaven, and the glorious angels, and rulers, both visible and invisible, if they do not believe in the blood of Christ, will, as a result, incur condemnation. "He that is able to receive it, let them receive it." Let not a high position make anyone proud: for what is truly valuable is faith and love, to which nothing should be preferred. But consider those who hold a different opinion regarding the grace of Christ that has come to us, how opposed they are to the will of God. They have no regard for love; no care for the widow, or the orphan, or the oppressed; whether they are bonded or free; hungry or thirsty.
