Chapter 10
1 And for the rest of mankind, pray without ceasing, for there is hope of repentance in them, that they may attain God. Allow them, then, even to be disciples through your works.
2 To their angers be you gentle; to their boastfulness be you humble-minded; to their blasphemies answer with your prayers; to their error be you steadfast, not striving to imitate them in return.[1]
3 Let us be found as their brothers in kindness. Be imitators of the Lord—who is more wronged, who is deprived, who is rejected?—so that no weed of the devil may be found among you, but rather in all purity and chastity remain in Jesus Christ, both in the flesh and in the spirit.
