Chapter XVI.—The fate of false
teachers.
Do not err, my brethren.596
Those that corrupt families shall not inherit
the kingdom of God.597
If, then, those who do
this as respects the flesh have suffered death, how much more shall this
be the case with any one who corrupts by wicked doctrine the faith of
God, for which Jesus Christ was crucified! Such an one becoming defiled
[in this way], shall go away into everlasting fire, and so shall every
one that hearkens unto him.
Do not err, my brethren.598
Those that corrupt families shall not inherit
the kingdom of God.599
And if those that
corrupt mere human families are condemned to death, how much more shall
those suffer everlasting punishment who endeavour to corrupt the Church
of Christ, for which the Lord Jesus, the only-begotten Son of God,
endured the cross, and submitted to death! Whosoever, “being waxen
fat,”600
and “become
gross,” sets at nought His doctrine, shall go into hell. In like manner, every one that has received from
God the power of distinguishing, and yet follows an unskilful shepherd,
and receives a false opinion for the truth, shall be punished. “What communion hath light with
darkness? or Christ with Belial? Or what portion hath he that believeth
with an infidel? or the temple of God with idols?”601
And in like manner say I, what
communion hath truth with falsehood? or righteousness with
unrighteousness? or true doctrine with that which is false?E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
