Epistle of Barnabas 19

Apostolic Teaching

This is the way of light: If anyone desires to travel to the appointed place.

2Let him be zealous in his works.

3The knowledge then that is given to us for walking in this way is as follows.

4You shall love him who made you, you shall fear him who formed you, you shall glorify him who redeemed you from death.

5You shall be simple in heart and rich in spirit.

6You shall not join yourself with those who walk in the way of death.

7You shall hate everything that is not pleasing to God.

8You shall hate all hypocrisy. You shall not forsake the commandments of the Lord.
