Therefore, O bishop, together with your subordinate clergy, endeavour rightly to divide the word of truth. For the Lord says: If you walk cross-grained to me, I will walk cross-grained to you.

Walk therefore holily, that you may rather appear worthy of praise from the Lord than of complaint from the adversary.
