Chapter X.—Exhortation to the practice of virtue.³⁹¹³⁹¹    This and the two following chapters are preserved only in a Latin version. [See Jacobson, ad loc.]

Stand fast, therefore, in these things, and follow the example of the Lord, being firm and unchangeable in the faith, loving the brotherhood,³⁹²³⁹²    Comp. 1 Pet. ii. 17. and being attached to one another, joined together in the truth, exhibiting the meekness of the Lord in your intercourse with one another, and despising no one. When you can do good, defer it not, because “alms delivers from death.”³⁹³³⁹³    Tobit iv. 10, Tobit xii. 9. Be all of you subject one to another³⁹⁴³⁹⁴    Comp. 1 Pet. v. 5. “having your conduct blameless among the Gentiles,”³⁹⁵³⁹⁵    1 Pet. ii. 12. that ye may both receive praise for your good works, and the Lord may not be blasphemed through you. But woe to him by whom the name of the Lord is blasphemed!³⁹⁶³⁹⁶    Isa. lii. 5. Teach, therefore, sobriety to all, and manifest it also in your own conduct.
