Apocrypha · Chapter 4 of 21
Apostolic Teaching
We must, therefore, diligently investigate the present things.
2And seek those that are able to save us.
3Let us flee completely from all the works of lawlessness.
4Lest the works of lawlessness overcome us.
5And let us hate the error of the present time, that we may be loved in the age to come.
6Let us not give rest to our souls that they may have power to walk with sinners and the wicked.
7Lest we become like them.
8The final consummation is at the door.
