“Let us set before our eyes the good apostles: 4 Peter, who because of unrighteous jealousy suffered not one or two but many trials, and having thus given his testimony went to the glorious place which was his due. 5 Through jealousy and strife Paul showed the way to the prize of endurance; 6 seven times he was in bonds, he was exiled, he was stoned, he was a herald both in the East and in the West, he gained the noble fame of his faith, 7 he taught righteousness to all the world, and when he had reached •the limits of the West •he gave his testimony before the rulers, and thus passed from the world and was taken up into the Holy Place,—•the greatest example of endurance.” (Volume 1, Page 17)
“On the Lord’s Day of the Lord come together, break bread and hold Eucharist, after confessing your transgressions that your offering may be pure; 2 but let •none who has a quarrel with his fellow •join in your meeting until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice be not defiled.” (Volume 1, Page 331)
•“Let not your fasts be with the hypocrites, for they fast on Mondays and Thursdays, but do you fast on Wednesdays and Fridays.” (Volume 1, Page 321)
