1I said to him : “Ask him himself, Sir, whether since he has been in my house I have done anything against his command, to offend against him?” 2“I know myself,” said he, “that you have done nothing and will do nothing against his command, and therefore I am speaking thus with you, that you may persevere; for he has given me a good account of you. But you shall tell these words to others, that they also who have repented, or shall repent, may have the same mind as you, and that he may give a good account to me of them, and I to the Lord.” 3“I myself, Sir,” said I, “show the ‘mighty acts’ of the Lord to all men, but I hope that all who have sinned before, if they hear this, will willingly repent, and recover life.” 4‘“Remain then,” said he, “in this ministry and carry it out. But whoever perform his commandments shall have life, and such a one has great honour with the Lord. But whoever do not keep his commands, are flying from their own life and against him, and they do not keep his commandments, but are delivering themselves to death, and each one of them is guilty of his own blood. But you I bid to keep these commandments, and you shall have healing for your sins.
