These things, beloved, we write not only as admonition to you, but also as a reminder to ourselves. For we are in the same arena and the same contest awaits us.
2Let us therefore leave the vain and futile concerns and approach the glorious and venerable rule of our tradition.
3Let us see what is good, pleasing and acceptable before him who made us.
4Let us fix our eyes on the blood of Christ and recognize how precious it is to God his Father.
