Thus will each of you receive a reward in full, not only
on his own behalf, but also for his brother’s progress.
And, as is fitting, you will be a source of mutual profit, both by your
words and deeds, as a result of constant intercourse and
exhortation. But above all I exhort you to be mindful of the
faith of the Fathers, and not to be shaken by those who in your
retirement would try to wrest you from it. For you know that
unless illumined by faith in God, strictness of life availeth nothing;
nor will a right confession of faith, if void of good works, be able to
present you before the Lord.
