the righteous answer and say, ' Lord, when saw we Thee hungry, and fed Thee ; or thirsty, and gave Thee to drink ; or naked, and we clothed 38 sic Thee ; or sick, and we visited Thee ; or a stranger, and we gathered 39 sic Thee in ; or in prison, and we came unto Thee ? ' And he shall answer *o and say unto them, ' that all that ye have done to My little brethren, ye have done it unto Me.' Then shall the righteous go unto eternal life." 46 But if there be a man who is called a Christian, and he should stumble, Ap. con. and be tempted by Satan, and be reproved for wicked works, either theft or murder, keep away from any that are such ; lest one of you be tempted by those who belong to him. For if a heathen should lay hold of thee, and ask thee and say to thee ; Thou art also a Christian like that man, thou canst not deny that thou art a Christian, but thou confessest, and thou art not condemned as a Christian, but art punished as an evil-doer, for thou wast asked if thou wert like that man, and thy confession is in vain to thee ; if thou deniest, thou hast denied the Lord. Therefore keep away from them, that ye may be without offence. But help with much zeal those believers, your members, who are in the bond of iniquity as evil-doers and are imprisoned, and free them from the hand of the wicked1, f. 595 For if some one approach those who are imprisoned for the name of the Christ our Lord, and is laid hold of along with them, blessed shall he be that he has been thought worthy of all this companionship.
