1Chapter 6 — The duties of the Christian flock.
2Give ye heed to the bishop, that God also may give heed to you.
3My soul be for theirs that are submissive to the bishop, to the presbyters, and to the deacons, and may my portion be along with them in God! Labour together with one another; strive in company together; run together; suffer together; sleep together; and awake together, as the stewards, and associates, and servants of God.
4Please ye Him under whom ye fight, and from whom ye receive your wages.
5Let none of you be found a deserter.
6Let your baptism endure as your arms; your faith as your helmet; your love as your spear; your patience as a complete panoply.
7Let your works be the charge assigned to you, that ye may receive a worthy recompense.
8Be long-suffering, therefore, with one another, in meekness, as God is towards you.
9May I have joy of you for ever! Give ye heed to the bishop, that God also may give heed to you.
10My soul be for theirs that are submissive to the bishop, to the presbytery, and to the deacons: may I have my portion with them from God! Labour together with one another; strive in company together; run together; suffer together; sleep together; and awake together, as the stewards, and associates, and servants of God.
11Please ye Him under whom ye fight, and from whom ye shall receive your wages.
12Let none of you be found a deserter.
13Let your baptism endure as your arms; your faith as your helmet; your love as your spear; your patience as a complete panoply.
14Let your works be the charge assigned to you, that you may obtain for them a most worthy recompense.
15Be long-suffering, therefore, with one another, in meekness, and God shall be so with you.
16May I have joy of you for ever!.
