Chapter 3

¹ It is fitting not only to be called Christians, but to be Christians; for it is not the name that makes one blessed, but the reality. If some call a bishop a bishop but do everything without him, such people will hear even from him—the one who is the true and first bishop and by nature alone the high priest—

² Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I say? For such people seem to me not to have a good conscience, but to be hypocrites and pretenders.
