For though some would have deceived me according to the flesh, yet my spirit is not deceived ; for I have received it from God. For it knows both whence it comes and whither it goes, and detects the secrets [of the heart]. For when I was among you, I cried, I spoke with a loud voice — the word is not mine, but God's — Give heed to the bishop, and to the presbytery and deacons. But if ye suspect that I spake thus, as having learned beforehand the division caused by some among you. He is my witness, for whose sake I am in bonds, that I learned nothing of it from the mouth of any man. But the Spirit made an announcement to me, saying as follows : Do nothing without the bishop ; keep your bodies '^ as the temples of God ; love unity ; avoid divisions ; be ye followers of Paul, and of the rest of the apostles, even as they also were of Christ.
