Chapter 63

It is therefore right that we should respect so many and so great examples, and bow the neck, and take up the position of obedience, so that ceasing from vain sedition we may gain without any fault the goal set before us in truth.

For you will give us joy and gladness; if you are obedient to the things which we have written through the Holy Spirit, and root out the wicked passion of your jealousy according to the entreaty for peace and concord which we have made in this letter.

And we have sent faithful and prudent men, who have lived among us without: blame from youth to old age, and they shall be witnesses between you and us.

We have done this that you may know that our whole care has been and is directed to your speedy attainment of peace.
