Chapter XI.—Inculcation of various
moral duties.
Let no one addicted to idleness eat,1255
lest he become a wanderer about, and a
whoremonger. Let drunkenness, anger, envy, reviling, clamour, and
blasphemy “be not so much as named among you.”1256
Let not the widows live a life of pleasure,
lest they wax wanton against the word.1257
Be
subject to Cæsar in everything in which subjection implies no
[spiritual] danger.
Provoke not those that rule over you to
wrath, that you may give no occasion against yourselves to those that
seek for it. But as to the practice of magic, or the impure love of boys,
or murder, it is superfluous to write to you, since such vices are
forbidden to be committed even by the Gentiles. I do not issue commands
on these points as if I were an apostle; but, as your fellow-servant, I
put you in mind of them.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
