Chapter
XXXVII.—“The Form of Sound Words, Which Ye Have Heard of
Me.”
But on the following day Peter arose early and
called us, and we went together to the secret place in which we had
been on the previous day, for the purpose of prayer. And when,
after prayer, we were coming thence to the appointed place, he exhorted
us by the way, saying:819
| 819 [Peculiar to
the Recognitions; there is probably here an anti-Pauline
purpose.—R.] | “Hear
me, most beloved fellow-servants: It is good that every one of
you, according to his ability, contribute to the advantage of those who
are approaching to the faith of our religion; and therefore do not
shrink from instructing the ignorant, and teaching according to the
wisdom which has been bestowed upon you by the providence of God, yet
so that you only join the eloquence of your discourse with those things
which you have heard from me, and which have been committed to
you. But do not speak anything which is your own, and which has
not been committed to you, though it may seem to yourselves to be true;
but hold forth those things, as I have said, which I myself have
received from the true Prophet, and have delivered to you, although
they may seem to be less full of authority. For thus it often
happens that men turn away from the truth, while they believe that they
have found out, by their own thoughts, a form of truth more true and
powerful.”
