Chapter VII.—Solemn charge to Hero, as future bishop of Antioch. Keep God in remembrance, and thou shalt never sin. Be not double-minded809 in thy prayers; for blessed is he who doubteth not. For I believe in the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in His only-begotten Son, that God will show me, Hero, upon my throne. Add speed, therefore,810 to thy course. I charge thee before the God of the universe, and before Christ, and in the presence of the Holy Spirit, and of the ministering ranks [of angels], keep in safety that deposit which I and Christ have committed to thee, and do not judge thyself unworthy of those things which have been shown by God [to me] concerning thee. I hand over to thee the Church of Antioch. I have commended you to Polycarp in the Lord Jesus Christ. 809 Comp. Jas. i. 6, 8. 810 Comp. Epistle to the Antiochians, chap. xii.
