Ignatius to the Philadelphians

Chapter 3

  1. 1 Abstain from noxious herbs, which are not the husbandry of Jesus Christ, because they are not the planting of the Father. Not that I have found division among you, but filtering.
  2. 2 For as many as are of God and of Jesus Christ, they are with the bishop; and as many as shall repent and enter into the unity of the Church, these also shall be of God, that they may be living after Jesus Christ.
  3. 3 Be not deceived, my brethren. If any man followeth one that maketh a schism, _he doth not inherit the kingdom of God._ If any man walketh in strange doctrine, he hath no fellowship with the passion. CHAPTER 4
