34. That the believer ought not to live like the Gentile. In Jeremiah: “Thus saith the Lord, Walk ye not according to the way of the Gentiles.” 4393 Of this same thing, that one ought to separate himself from the Gentiles, lest he should be a companion of their sin, and become a partaker of their penalty, in the Apocalypse: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Go forth from her, my people, lest thou be partaker of her crimes, and lest thou be stricken with her plagues; because her crimes have reached even to heaven, and the Lord God hath remembered her iniquities. Therefore He hath returned unto her double, and in the cup which she hath mixed double is mingled for her; and in how much she hath glorified herself and possessed of delights, in so much is given unto her both torment and grief. For in her heart she says, I am a queen, and cannot be a widow, nor shall I see sorrow. Therefore in one hour her plagues shall come on her, death, grief, and famine; and she shall be burned with fire, because the Lord God is strong who shall judge her. And the kings of the earth shall weep and lament themselves for her, who have committed fornication with her, and have been conversant in her sins.” 4394 Also in Isaiah: “Go forth from the midst of them, ye who bear the vessels of the Lord.” 4395 4393     Jer. x. 2 . 4394     Rev. xviii. 4–9 . The Oxford text reads “deliciis” instead of “delictis,”—making the last clause, “and have walked in delicacies.” 4395     Isa. lii. 11 .
