Chapter 12

¹ So make every effort to be firmly grounded in the teachings of the Lord and the apostles, so that whatever you do may prosper, in flesh and spirit, in faith and love, together with your most worthy bishop and with that fittingly woven spiritual crown which is your presbytery, and with the deacons who serve according to God. Submit to the bishop and to one another, as Christ submits to the Father, so that there may be unity among you according to God.
