Cyprian Treatise I On the Unity of the Church The Lord warns, saying, "He who is not with me is against me, and he who gathereth not with me scattereth."[20] Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews Also in the Gospel according to Matthew: "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth."[747] Seventh Council of Carthage Under Cyprian said: Since our Lord Christ says, "He who is not with me is against me; "[34] said: Are heretics Christians or not? If they are Christians, why are they not in the Church of God? If they are not Christians, how come they to make Christians? Or whither will tend the Lord's discourse, when He says, "He that is not with me is against me, and he who gathereth not with me scattereth? "[50] Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book II For this is His will in Christ, that those who are saved by Him may be many; but that you do not occasion any loss or diminution to Him, nor to the Church, or lessen the number by one soul of man, as destroyed by you, which might have been saved by repentance; and which therefore perishes not only by its own sin, but also by your treachery besides, whereby you fulfil that which is written, "He that gathereth not with me, scattereth."[248] For it is not only spoken concerning the priests, but let every one of the laity hearken to it as concerning himself, considering that it is said by the Lord: "He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad."[258]
