Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV And again, "The servant who knows his Lord's will, and does it not, shall be beaten with many stripes."[602] Shepherd of Hermas Similitude Ninth If, accordingly, when he ought to do good, he do evil, does not he appear to do greater evil than he who does not know God? For this reason, they who have not known God and do evil are condemned to death; but they who have known God, and have seen His mighty works, and still continue in evil, shall be chastised doubly, and shall die for ever.[33] Cyprian Epistle VII -therefore we are smitten as we deserve, since it is written: "And that servant, which knoweth his master's will, and has not obeyed his will, shall be beaten with many stripes."[3] Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews Also according to Luke: "But that servant which knoweth his Lord's will, and obeyed not His will, shall be beaten with many stripes."[508]
