1 Therefore it is right and proper, brethren, that we should be obedient unto God, rather than follow those who in arrogance and unruliness have set themselves up as leaders in abominable jealousy. (1CL) 2 For we shall bring upon us no common harm, but rather great peril, if we surrender ourselves recklessly to the purposes of men who launch out into strife and seditions, so as to estrange us from that which is right. (1CL) 3 Let us be good one towards another according to the compassion and sweetness of Him that made us. For it is written: (1CL) 4 The good shall be dwellers in the land, and the innocent shall be left on it but they that transgress shall be destroyed utterly from it. (1CL) 5 And again He saith I saw the ungodly lifted up on high and exalted as the cedars of Lebanon. And I passed by, and behold he was not; and sought out his place, and I found it not. Keep innocence and behold uprightness; for there is a remnant for the peaceful man. (1CL)
