Chapter VI—Exhortations to purity and
caution.
Keep thyself pure as the habitation of God. Thou art
the temple of Christ. Thou art the instrument of the Spirit. Thou knowest
in what way I have brought thee up. Though I am the least of men, do thou
seek to follow me, be thou an imitator of my conduct. I do not glory in
the world, but in the Lord. I exhort Hero, my son; “but let him
that glorieth, glory in the Lord.”12881288 May I have joy of thee, my dear son, whose
guardian may He be who is the only unbegotten God, and the Lord Jesus
Christ! Do not believe all persons, do not place confidence in all; nor
let any man get the better of thee by flattery. For many are the
ministers of Satan; and “he that is hasty to believe is light of
heart.”12891289
