142 THE TREATISES OF CYPRIAN. neithernow areye able. For ye are stillcarnal: for where thereare in you emulation,and strife,and dissensions,areye not carnal,and walk afterman ?"1 Likewise in the same place: " And ifI shouldhave allfaith,so thatI can remove mountains,but have not charity,I am nothing. And if I should distributeallmy goods for food, and if I should deliverup my body to be burned, but have not charity,I avail nothing. Charity is great-souled; charity is kind; charity envieth not; charity dealeth not falsely;is not puffedup ; is not irritated; thinkethnot evil; rejoicethnot in injustice,but rejoicethin the truth. It lovethallthings, believethallthings,hopeth allthings,beareth allthings. Charityshallnever fail."2Of thissame thingto the Gala- tians: " Thou shaltlove thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye biteand accuseone another,seethat ye be not consumed one of another."8 Of thissame thingintheEpistleof John : " In thisappear the childrenof God and the childrenof the devil. Whosoever isnotrighteousisnot of God, and he who lovethnot hisbrother. For he who hateth his brother is a murderer ; and ye know that no murderer hath eternallife abiding in him."4 Also in the same place: "If any one shallsay that he lovesGod, and hates his brother,he is a liar: for he who lovethnot his brotherwhom he seeth,how can he loveGod whom he seethnot?"5 Of thissame thing in the Acts of the Apostles: " But the multitudeof them thathad believedactedwithone souland mind :nor was there among them any distinction,neitherdid they esteem as their own anything of thepossessionsthattheyhad ; but allthings were common to them."6 Of thissame thingin the Gospel accordingtoMatthew : " li thouwouldestofferthygiftat the altar,and thererememberestthatthybrotherhathoughtagainst thee; leave thou thy giftbeforethe altar,and go ; firstbe reconciledto thy brother,and then come and offerthy giftat the altar."7Also in theEpistleof John : " God islove; and he thatdwellethin lovedwellethin God, and God in him."8 1 1 Cor.iii.1-3. 4 1 Johniii.10,15.
