In God the Father Almighty; and the recipient shall say, Amen. ⁹Then: In the Lord Jesus Christ; [and he shall say, Amen. ¹⁰Then: In][121] [the] Holy Ghost and the holy church; and he shall say, Amen. ¹¹So it shall be done to each. ¹²And when these things are completed, let each one hasten to do good works, SAH and to please God and to live aright, devoting himself to the church, practising the things he has learned, advancing in the service of God. ¹³Now we have briefly delivered to you these things concerning the holy baptism and the holy oblation, for you have already been instructed concerning the resurrection of the flesh and all other things as taught in Scripture.¹⁴Yet if there is any other thing that ought to be told [to converts], let the bishop impart it to them privately after their baptism; let not unbelievers know it, until they are baptized: this is the white stone of which John said: “There is upon it a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth the stone”. PART III GRE[122]25.[123] ¹Widows and virgins shall fast frequently and shall pray for the church; presbyters, if they wish, and laymen may fast likewise. ²But the bishop may fast only when all the people fast. 26. ¹For it constantly happens that some one wishes to make an offering—and such a one must not be denied—and then the bishop, after breaking the bread, must in every case taste SAH and eat it with the other believers. ²[At such an offering] each shall take from the bishop’s hand a piece of [this] bread before breaking his own bread. [This service has a special ceremonial][124] for it is “a Blessing”, not “a Thanksgiving”, as is [the service of] the Body of the Lord.[125] ³But before drinking, each one, LAT as many of you as are present, SAH must take a cup and give thanks over it, LAT and so go to your meal. ⁴But to the catechumens is given exorcised bread, and each of them must offer the cup. ⁵No catechumen shall sit at the Lord’s Supper. ⁶But at each act of offering, the offerer must remember his host, for he was invited to the latter’s home for that very purpose. ⁷But when you eat and drink, do so in an orderly manner and not so that anyone may mock, or your host be saddened by your unruliness, but behave so that he may pray to be made worthy that the saints may enter his dwelling: “for ye”, it is said, “are the salt of the earth”.
