1Therefore, brethren, doing the will of the Father and keeping the flesh pure.
2And observing the commandments of the Lord, we shall receive eternal life.
3For the Lord says in the gospel: If you did not keep what is small, who will give you what is great?
4For I tell you: he who is faithful in very little is also faithful in much.
5This, therefore, he means: keep the flesh pure and the seal unstained, that we may receive eternal life.
6And let none of you say that this flesh is not judged nor rises again.
7Understand: in what were you saved, in what did you recover your sight, if not in this flesh?
8Therefore, we must keep the flesh as the temple of God.
