Chapter 6: Avoid the Harmful Influence of Heretics.
I THEREFORE: yet not I, out the love of Jesus Christ, "urge you all to speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment." For there are some vain talkers and deceivers, not Christians, but Christ-betrayers, carrying the name of Christ in deceit, and "corrupting the word" of the Gospel; while they mix the poison of their deceit with their persuasive talk, as if they mingled aconite with sweet wine, so that he who drinks, being deceived in his taste by the very great sweetness of the drink, may unknowingly encounter his death.
One of the ancients gives us this advice, "Let no man be called good who mixes good with evil." For they speak of Christ, not to preach Christ, but to reject Christ; and they speak of the law, not to establish the law, but to proclaim things contrary to it. For they separate Christ from the Father, and the law from Christ. They also falsely accuse His being born of the Virgin; they are ashamed of His cross; they deny His suffering; and they do not believe His resurrection.
They introduce God as a Being unknown; they suppose Christ to be unbegotten; and regarding the Spirit, they do not admit that He exists. Some of them say that the Son is a mere man, and that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are but the same person, and that creation is the work of God, not by Christ, but by some other strange power.
