For such persons are like those idle and prating widows \"who go wandering about among houses\" [1 Timothy 5:13] with their prating, and hunt for idle tales, and carry them from house to house with much exaggeration, without fear of God. And besides all this, barefaced men as they are, under pretence of teaching, they set forth a variety of doctrines. And would that they taught the doctrines of truth! But it is this which is so disquieting, that they understand not what they mean, and assert that which is not true: because they wish to be teachers, and to display themselves as skilful in speaking; because they traffic in iniquity in the name of Christ — which it is not right for the servants of God to do. And they hearken not to that which the Scripture has said: \"Let not many be teachers among you, my brethren, and be not all of you prophets.\" For \"he who does not transgress in word is a perfect man, able to keep down and subjugate his whole body.\" [James 3:2]<br/><i>— Two Epistles on Virginity</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"ccf3686192ceb47cddaf7178977e38ce9730872a2d1f23c23a2aae41a7da6517","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":153,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"cd20b324c779663c149d9846d73fadf25f050098851a82a979aa3939afd2c370","translator":null,"work":null}
