Apocrypha · Chapter 57 of 65
Letter to the Corinthians
You, therefore, who laid the foundation of the sedition, submit yourselves to the presbyters and receive correction for repentance, bending the knees of your heart.
2Learn to submit, putting aside the arrogant and proud boasting of your tongue.
3For it is better for you to be found small and counted in the flock of Christ, than to be held in great esteem and fall from his hope.
4For thus says the supreme Wisdom: Behold, I will utter to you the word of my spirit, and I will teach you my speech.
