And let the elders also be compassionate, merciful toward all, turning back those who have gone astray, visiting all the sick, not neglecting the widow or orphan or poor man, but always providing for what is good before God and men, abstaining from all wrath, partiality, and unjust judgement, keeping far from all love of money, not quick to believe a charge against anyone, not severe in judgement, knowing that we are all debtors of sin.
If then we ask the Lord to forgive us, we also ought to forgive; for we are in the sight of the eyes of the Lord and God, and all must stand before the judgement-seat of Christ, and each one must give an account of himself.
So then let us serve him with fear and all reverence, just as he himself commanded, and as did the apostles who preached the gospel to us and the prophets who foretold the coming of our Lord; being zealous for what is good, abstaining from offences and from false brothers and from those who bear the name of the Lord in hypocrisy, who lead astray empty-headed people.
