Stand fast, therefore, in these things, and fol- low the example of the Lord, being firm and unchangeable in the faith, loving the brother- hood," and being attached to one another, joined together in the truth, exhibiting the meekness of the Lord in your intercourse with one another, and despising no one. When you can do good, defer it not, because " alms delivers from death." '- Be all of you subject one to another,'^ having your conduct blameless among the Gen- tiles," '■♦ that ye may both receive praise for your good works, and the Lord may not be blas- ]-)hemed through you. But woe to him by whom the name of the Lord is blasphemed ! '5 Teach, therefore, sobriety to all, and manifest it also in your own conduct.
