Apocryphal books (New Testament)
11 Let it be your care therefore
to come more fully together, to
the praise and glory of God;
for when ye meet fully together
in the same place, the powers of
the devil are destroyed, and his
mischief is dissolved by the unity
of your faith.
12 And indeed, nothing is better
than peace, by which all war both
spiritual and earthly is abolished.
13 Of all which, nothing is hid
from you, if ye have perfect faith
and charity in Christ Jesus, which
are the beginning and end of life.
14 For the beginning is faith;
the end is charity. And these two
joined together, are of God; but
all other things which concern a
holy life, are the consequences of
these.
15 No man professing a true
faith, sinneth; neither does he
who has charity hate any.
16 The tree is made manifest
by its fruit; so they who profess
themselves to be Christians are
known by what they do.
17 For Christianity is not the
work of an outward profession;
but shows itself in the power of
faith, if a man be found faithful
unto the end.
18 It is better for a man to hold
his peace, and be; than to say, he
is a Christian, and not to be.
19 It is good to teach; if what
he says he does likewise.
20 There is therefore one master
who spake, and it was done; and
even those things which he did
without speaking, are worthy
of the Father.
21 He that possesses the word
of Jesus, is truly able to bear his
very silence. That he may be perfect,
be will do according to what he
speaks, and be known by those
things of which he is silent.
22 There is nothing hid from
God, but even our secrets are nigh
unto him.
23 Let us therefore do all
things, as becomes those who
have God dwelling in them;
that we maybe his temples;
and he may be our God as also
he is, and will manifest himself
before our faces, by those things
for which we justly love him,
CHAPTER IV.
1 To have a care for the Gospel.
9 The virginity of Mary, the incarnation,
and the death of Christ, were hid from the Devil.
11 How the birth of Christ was revealed.
16 Exhorts to unity.
BE not deceived, my brethren:
those that corrupt families
by adultery, shall not inherit
the kingdom of God.
2 If therefore they who do this
according to the flesh, have
suffered death; how much more shall
he die, who by his wicked doctrine
corrupts the faith of God, for which
Christ was crucified?
3 He that is thus defiled, shall
depart into unquenchable fire, and
so also shall he that hearkens to
him.
4 For this cause did the Lord
suffer the ointment to be poured
on his head; that he might breathe
the breath of immortality unto his
church.
5 Be not ye therefore anointed
with the evil savour of the doctrine
of the prince of this world: let him
not take you captive from the life
that is set before you.
6 And why are we not all
wise, seeing we have received
the knowledge of God, which is
Jesus Christ? Why do we suffer
ourselves foolishly to perish;
not considering the gift which
the Lord has truly sent to us?
