1 Who therefore is noble among you? Who is compassionate? Who is fulfilled with love? (1CL) 2 Let him say; If by reason of me there be faction and strife and divisions, I retire, I depart, whither ye will, and I do that which is ordered by the people: only let the flock of Christ be at peace with its duly appointed presbyters. (1CL) 3 He that shall have done this, shall win for himself great renown in Christ, and every place will receive him: for the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof . (1CL) 4 Thus have they done and will do, that live as citizens of that kingdom of God which bringeth no regrets. (1CL)
