1Wherefore, brethren, let us forsake our sojourning in this world, and do the will of him who called us, and let us not fear to go forth from this world, 2for the Lord said, “Ye shall be as lambs in the midst of wolves,” 3and Peter answered and said to him, “If then the wolves tear the lambs?” 4Jesus said to Peter, “Let the lambs have no fear of the wolves after their death; and do ye have no fear of those that slay you, and can do nothing more to you, but fear him who after your death hath power over body and soul, to cast them into the flames of hell.” 5And be well assured, brethren, that our sojourning in this world in the flesh is a little thing and lasts a short time, but the promise of Christ is great and wonderful, and brings us rest, in the kingdom which is to come and in everlasting life. 6What then shall we do to attain these things save lead a holy and righteous life, and regard the things of this world not our own, and not desire them? 7For by desiring to obtain these things we fall from the way of righteousness.
