The Lord has rendered my bonds light and easy since I learnt that you are in peace, and that you live in all harmony both of the flesh and spirit. " I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord,^ beseech you, that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called," 3 guarding against those heresies of the wicked one which have broken in upon us, to the deceiving and destruction of those that accept of them ; but that ye give heed to the doctrine of the apostles, and believe both the law and the prophets : that ye reject every Jewish and Gentile error, and neither introduce a multiplicity of gods, nor yet deny Christ under the pretence of [maintaining] the unity of God.
