Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans

Chapter 7

  1. 1 They therefore that gainsay the good gift of God perish by their questionings. But it were expedient for them to have love, that they may also rise again.
  2. 2 It is therefore meet that ye should abstain from such, and not speak of them either privately or in public; but should give heed to the Prophets, and especially to the Gospel, wherein the passion is shown unto us and the resurrection is accomplished. CHAPTER 8
