Chapter 8: Beware of the Devil's Traps

Not that I know there is anything of this kind among you; but I warn you, as I love you greatly and foresee the snares of the devil. Therefore, clothing yourselves with meekness, be renewed in faith, which is the flesh of the Lord, and in love, which is the blood of Jesus Christ. Let none of you hold any grudge against your neighbor. Give no opportunity to the Gentiles, lest by means of a few foolish people the whole multitude of those that believe in God be spoken of poorly. For, "Woe to him by whose vanity my name is blasphemed among any."
