The Didachē: The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles Chapter 1. The Two Ways and the First Commandment There are two ways, one of life and one of death, but a great difference between the two ways. The way of life, then, is this: First, you shall love God who made you; second, love your neighbor as yourself, and do not do to another what you would not want done to you. And of these sayings the teaching is this: Bless those who curse you, and pray for your enemies, and fast for those who persecute you. For what reward is there for loving those who love you? Do not the Gentiles do the same? But love those who hate you, and you shall not have an enemy. Abstain from fleshly and worldly lusts. If someone strikes your right cheek, turn to him the other also, and you shall be perfect. If someone impresses you for one mile, go with him two. If someone takes your cloak, give him also your coat. If someone takes from you what is yours, ask it not back, for indeed you are not able. Give to every one who asks you, and ask it not back; for the Father wills that to all should be given of our own blessings (free gifts). Happy is he who gives according to the commandment, for he is guiltless. Woe to him who receives; for if one receives who has need, he is guiltless; but he who receives not having need shall pay the penalty, why he received and for what. And coming into confinement, he shall be examined concerning the things which he has done, and he shall not escape from there until he pays back the last penny. And also concerning this, it has been said, Let your alms sweat in your hands, until you know to whom you should give. Chapter 2. The Second Commandment: Grave Sin Forbidden And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill the one who is born. You shall not covet the things of your neighbor, you shall not swear, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not speak evil, you shall bear no grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued, for to be double-tongued is a snare of death. Your speech shall not be false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty. You shall not take evil counsel against your neighbor. You shall not hate any man; but some you shall reprove, and concerning some you shall pray, and some you shall love more than your own life. Chapter 3. Other Sins Forbidden My child, flee from every evil thing, and from every likeness of it. Be not prone to anger, for anger leads to murder. Be neither jealous, nor quarrelsome, nor of hot temper, for out of all these murders are engendered. My child, be not a lustful one. for lust leads to fornication. Be neither a filthy talker, nor of lofty eye, for out of all these adulteries are engendered. My child, be not an observer of omens, since it leads to idolatry. Be neither an enchanter, nor an astrologer, nor a purifier, nor be willing to took at these things, for out of all these idolatry is engendered. My child, be not a liar, since a lie leads to theft. Be neither money-loving, nor vainglorious, for out of all these thefts are engendered. My child, be not a murmurer, since it leads the way to blasphemy. Be neither self-willed nor evil-minded, for out of all these blasphemies are engendered. Rather, be meek, since the meek shall inherit the earth. Be long-suffering and pitiful and guileless and gentle and good and always trembling at the words which you have heard. You shall not exalt yourself, nor give over-confidence to your soul. Your soul shall not be joined with lofty ones, but with just and lowly ones shall it have its intercourse. Accept whatever happens to you as good, knowing that apart from God nothing comes to pass. Chapter 4. Various Precepts My child, remember night and day him who speaks the word of God to you, and honor him as you do the Lord. For wherever the lordly rule is uttered, there is the Lord. And seek out day by day the faces of the saints, in order that you may rest upon their words. Do not long for division, but rather bring those who contend to peace. Judge righteously, and do not respect persons in reproving for transgressions. You shall not be undecided whether or not it shall be. Be not a stretcher forth of the hands to receive and a drawer of them back to give. If you have anything, through your hands you shall give ransom for your sins. Do not hesitate to give, nor complain when you give; for you shall know who is the good repayer of the hire. Do not turn away from him who is in want; rather, share all things with your brother, and do not say that they are your own. For if you are partakers in that which is immortal, how much more in things which are mortal? Do not remove your hand from your son or daughter; rather, teach them the fear of God from their youth. Do not enjoin anything in your bitterness upon your bondman or maidservant, who hope in the same God, lest ever they shall fear not God who is over both; for he comes not to call according to the outward appearance, but to them whom the Spirit has prepared. And you bondmen shall be subject to your masters as to a type of God, in modesty and fear. You shall hate all hypocrisy and everything which is not pleasing to the Lord. Do not in any way forsake the commandments of the Lord; but keep what you have received, neither adding thereto nor taking away therefrom. In the church you shall acknowledge your transgressions, and you shall not come near for your prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of life. Chapter 5. The Way of Death And the way of death is this: First of all it is evil and accursed: murders, adultery, lust, fornication, thefts, idolatries, magic arts, witchcrafts, rape, false witness, hypocrisy, double-heartedness, deceit, haughtiness, depravity, self-will, greediness, filthy talking, jealousy, over-confidence, loftiness, boastfulness; persecutors of the good, hating truth, loving a lie, not knowing a reward for righteousness, not cleaving to good nor to righteous judgment, watching not for that which is good, but for that which is evil; from whom meekness and endurance are far, loving vanities, pursuing revenge, not pitying a poor man, not laboring for the afflicted, not knowing Him Who made them, murderers of children, destroyers of the handiwork of God, turning away from him who is in want, afflicting him who is distressed, advocates of the rich, lawless judges of the poor, utter sinners. Be delivered, children, from all these. Chapter 6. Against False Teachers, and Food Offered to Idols See that no one causes you to err from this way of the Teaching, since apart from God it teaches you. For if you are able to bear the entire yoke of the Lord, you will be perfect; but if you are not able to do this, do what you are able. And concerning food, bear what you are able; but against that which is sacrificed to idols be exceedingly careful; for it is the service of dead gods. Chapter 7. Concerning Baptism And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in living water. But if you have no living water, baptize into other water; and if you cannot do so in cold water, do so in warm. But if you have neither, pour out water three times upon the head into the name of Father and Son and Holy Spirit. But before the baptism let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whoever else can; but you shall order the baptized to fast one or two days before. Chapter 8. Fasting and Prayer (the Lord’s Prayer) But let not your fasts be with the hypocrites, for they fast on the second and fifth day of the week. Rather, fast on the fourth day and the Preparation (Friday). Do not pray like the hypocrites, but rather as the Lord commanded in His Gospel, like this: “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debt as we also forgive our debtors. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one; for Thine is the power and the glory for ever. Pray this three times each day. Chapter 9. The Eucharist Now concerning the Eucharist, give thanks this way. First, concerning the cup: “We thank thee, our Father, for the holy vine of David Thy servant, which Thou madest known to us through Jesus Thy Servant; to Thee be the glory for ever. And concerning the broken bread: “We thank Thee, our Father, for the life and knowledge which Thou madest known to us through Jesus Thy Servant; to Thee be the glory for ever. Even as this broken bread was scattered over the hills, and was gathered together and became one, so let Thy Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth into Thy kingdom; for Thine is the glory and the power through Jesus Christ for ever. But let no one eat or drink of your Eucharist, unless they have been baptized into the name of the Lord; for concerning this also the Lord has said, “Give not that which is holy to the dogs.” Chapter 10. Prayer after Communion But after you are filled, give thanks this way: “We thank Thee, holy Father, for Thy holy name which Thou didst cause to tabernacle in our hearts, and for the knowledge and faith and immortality, which Thou modest known to us through Jesus Thy Servant; to Thee be the glory for ever. Thou, Master almighty, didst create all things for Thy name’s sake; Thou gavest food and drink to men for enjoyment, that they might give thanks to Thee; but to us You didst freely give spiritual food and drink and life eternal through Thy Servant. Before all things we thank Thee that You are mighty; to Thee be the glory for ever. Remember, Lord, Thy Church, to deliver it from all evil and to make it perfect in Thy love, and gather it from the four winds, sanctified for Thy kingdom which Thou have prepared for it; for Thine is the power and the glory for ever. Let grace come, and let this world pass away. Hosanna to the God of David! If any one is holy, let him come; if any one is not so, let him repent. Maranatha. Amen. But permit the prophets to make thanksgiving as much as they desire. Chapter 11. Concerning Teachers, Apostles, and Prophets Whosoever, therefore, comes and teaches you all these things that have been said before, receive him. But if the teacher himself turns and teaches another doctrine to the destruction of this, hear him not. But if he teaches so as to increase righteousness and the knowledge of the Lord, receive him as the Lord. But concerning the apostles and prophets, act according to the decree of the Gospel. Let every apostle who comes to you be received as the Lord. But he shall not remain more than one day; or two days, if there’s a need. But if he remains three days, he is a false prophet. And when the apostle goes away, let him take nothing but bread until he lodges. If he asks for money, he is a false prophet. And every prophet who speaks in the Spirit you shall neither try nor judge; for every sin shall be forgiven, but this sin shall not be forgiven. But not every one who speaks in the Spirit is a prophet; but only if he holds the ways of the Lord. Therefore from their ways shall the false prophet and the prophet be known. And every prophet who orders a meal in the Spirit does not eat it, unless he is indeed a false prophet. And every prophet who teaches the truth, but does not do what he teaches, is a false prophet. And every prophet, proved true, working unto the mystery of the Church in the world, yet not teaching others to do what he himself does, shall not be judged among you, for with God he has his judgment; for so did also the ancient prophets. But whoever says in the Spirit, Give me money, or something else, you shall not listen to him. But if he tells you to give for others’ sake who are in need, let no one judge him. Chapter 12. Reception of Christians But receive everyone who comes in the name of the Lord, and prove and know him afterward; for you shall have understanding right and left. If he who comes is a wayfarer, assist him as far as you are able; but he shall not remain with you more than two or three days, if need be. But if he wants to stay with you, and is an artisan, let him work and eat. But if he has no trade, according to your understanding, see to it that, as a Christian, he shall not live with you idle. But if he wills not to do, he is a Christ-monger. Watch that you keep away from such. Chapter 13. Support of Prophets But every true prophet who wants to live among you is worthy of his support. So also a true teacher is himself worthy, as the workman, of his support. Every first-fruit, therefore, of the products of wine-press and threshing-floor, of oxen and of sheep, you shall take and give to the prophets, for they are your high priests. But if you have no prophet, give it to the poor. If you make a batch of dough, take the first-fruit and give according to the commandment. So also when you open a jar of wine or of oil, take the first-fruit and give it to the prophets; and of money (silver) and clothing and every possession, take the first-fruit, as it may seem good to you, and give according to the commandment. Chapter 14. Christian Assembly on the Lord’s Day But every Lord’s day gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one who is at odds with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned. For this is that which was spoken by the Lord: “In every place and time offer to me a pure sacrifice; for I am a great King, says the Lord, and my name is wonderful among the nations.” Chapter 15. Bishops and Deacons; Christian Reproof Appoint, therefore, for yourselves, bishops and deacons worthy of the Lord, men meek, and not lovers of money, and truthful and proved; for they also render to you the service of prophets and teachers. Therefore do not despise them, for they are your honored ones, together with the prophets and teachers. And reprove one another, not in anger, but in peace, as you have it in the Gospel. But to anyone that acts amiss against another, let no one speak, nor let him hear anything from you until he repents. But your prayers and alms and all your deeds so do, as you have it in the Gospel of our Lord. Chapter 16. Watchfulness; the Coming of the Lord Watch for your life’s sake. Let not your lamps be quenched, nor your loins unloosed; but be ready, for you know not the hour in which our Lord will come. But come together often, seeking the things which are befitting to your souls: for the whole time of your faith will not profit you, if you are not made perfect in the last time. For in the last days false prophets and corrupters shall be multiplied, and the sheep shall be turned into wolves, and love shall be turned into hate; for when lawlessness increases, they shall hate and persecute and betray one another, and then shall appear the world-deceiver as Son of God, and shall do signs and wonders, and the earth shall be delivered into his hands, and he shall do iniquitous things which have never yet come to pass since the beginning. Then shall the creation of men come into the fire of trial, and many shall be made to stumble and shall perish; but those who endure in their faith shall be saved from under the curse itself. And then shall appear the signs of the truth: first, the sign of an outspreading in heaven, then the sign of the sound of the trumpet. And third, the resurrection of the dead — yet not of all, but as it is said: “The Lord shall come and all His saints with Him.” Then shall the world see the Lord coming upon the clouds of heaven.

Dva puta; prva zapovijed (1) Dva su puta: put života i put smrti. A velika je razlika između ta dva puta. (2) Evo, ovo je put života: ponajprije, ljubi Boga koji te je stvorio; zatim svoga bližnjega kao samoga sebe; i ništa što ne želiš da se dogodi tebi, ne čini ni ti drugome. (3) A uputa koja slijedi iz tih riječi jest ova: Blagoslivljajte one koji vas proklinju, i molite za svoje neprijatelje, a postite za one koji vas progone. Jer što je veliko u tome, ako ljubite one koji vas ljube? Zar ne čine to i neznabošci? A vi ljubite one koji vas mrze i nećete imati neprijatelja. (4) Uzdržavaj se od tjelesnih požuda. Ako te netko udari po desnom obrazu, okreni mu i drugi, i bit ćeš savršen. Ako te netko prisili da hodaš jednu milju, pođi s njime dvije. Ako ti netko otme plašt, daj mu i haljinu. Ako ti netko oduzme što je tvoje, ne zahtijevaj natrag: ta i ne možeš. (5) Svakome koji te moli, daj i ne zahtijevaj da ti vrati, jer Otac hoće da se svakome daje od njegovih darova. Blago onome koji daje, prema zapovijedi: ostaje bez prijekora. Jao onome koji prima: ako netko prima jer mu treba, bit će bez prijekora; ali onaj kome nije potrebno bit će suđen, zbog čega je primio i u koju svrhu: stavit će ga u zatvor i bit će pod istragom o tome što je učinio, i neće odanle izaći sve dok ne vrati posljednji novčić. (6) O tom je doduše rečeno također: „Neka se oznoji tvoja milostinja u tvojim rukama dok ne spoznaš kome ćeš je dati.“ (1) Drugi nalog upute: (2) Ne ubij, ne učini preljuba, ne budi oskvrnitelj dječaka, ne griješi bludno, ne kradi, ne bavi se magijom i vračanjem, ne uništi djeteta pobačajem i ne ubij ga pošto se rodio, ne poželi onoga što pripada tvome bližnjemu. (3) Ne zaklinji se krivo, ne svjedoči lažno, ne proklinji, ne budi zlopamtilo. (4) Ne budi dvosmislen ni dvoličan u govoru: jer dvoličan govor je zamka smrti. (5) Riječ tvoja neka ne bude lažna, ni isprazna, nego potvrđena činom. (6) Ne budi pohlepan i lakom, ni himbenik, ni zlobnik, ni oholica. Ne goji zle namjere protiv svoga bližnjega, (7) ne mrzi nijednog čovjeka, već jedne prekoravaj, za druge se moli, druge opet ljubi više nego svoj život. (1) Dijete moje, bježi od svakoga zla i od svega što je nalik na zlo. (2) Ne prepuštaj se srdžbi: srdžba vodi k ubojstvu; ne budi žestok ni svadljiv ni nasilan: iz svega se toga rađaju ubijstva. (3) Dijete moje, ne odavaj se požudama: požuda vodi u blud; ne budi besraman u govoru ni smion u pogledu: iz svega se toga rađaju preljubi. (4) Dijete moje, ne budi pogađač iz promatranja ptica, jer to vodi u idolopoklonstvo; ni bajalac ni astrolog ni obavljač lažnih očišćivanja, niti želi to vidjeti ili čuti: iz svega se toga rađa idolopoklonstvo. (5) Dijete moje, ne budi lažljivac, jer laž vodi u krađu; ni srebroljubiv ni željan tašte slave: iz svega toga rađaju se krađe. (6) Dijete moje, ne budi zanovjetljiv prigovarač: to vodi u pogrdni govor; ni drznik ni zlobnik: iz svega se toga rađaju ocrnjivanja i pogrde. (7) Budi krotak, jer će krotki naslijediti zemlju. (8) Budi velikodušan i milostiv i bezazlen i miroljubiv i dobar, s punim počitanjem prema riječima koje si čuo. (9) Ne uznosi se i ne daj u svojoj duši mjesta drskosti. Neka se tvoje srce ne drži oholih, već se kreći za pravednima i poniznima. (10) Sve što ti se dogodi primaj kao dobro, svjestan da se bez Boga ništa ne događa. (1) Dijete moje, onoga koji ti govori riječ Božju spominji se danju i noću, i časti ga kao Gospodina: jer gdje se gospodnja vlast propovijeda, ondje je Gospodin. (2) Svaki dan traži društvo svetih, da nađeš pokoj u njihovim riječima. (3) Ne izazivaj raskola, već pomiruj zavađene: sudi po pravdi, ne gledaj tko je tko kad kudiš prestupke. (4) Ne prevrći u duši što će ti se ili neće dogoditi. (5) Ne budi čovjek koji za primanje ima ruke pružene a za davanje stisnute. (6) Ako imaš što kao plod svojih ruku, daj za otkup svojih grijeha. (7) Ne oklijevaj s davanjem, i dok daješ ne zanovijetaj: jer spoznat ćeš Onoga koji će ti dobro uzvratiti plaću. (8) Ne otjeraj potrebnoga, nego učini da imaš sve zajedničko sa svojim bratom, i ne reci da je tvoje: jer ako ste zajedničari u besmrtnim dobrima, koliko više morate biti u smrtnima! (9) Ne skidaj svoje ruke sa svoga sina ili kćeri, nego ih od najmlađe dobi uči strahu Božjemu. (10) Ne naređuj u žestini svome robu ili sluškinji koji se uzdaju u istoga Boga, da ne bi možda izgubili straha pred Bogom koji je nad obojima: jer ne dolazi da pozove prema tome tko je tko, nego one koje je Duh pripravio. (11) A vi, robovi, budite podložni svojim gospodarima kao slici Božjoj, u suzdržljivosti i počitanju. (12) Mrzi svaku himbu i sve što nije milo Gospodinu. (13) Nipošto ne napuštaj naloga Gospodnjih, već čuvaj one koje si primio, ništa ne dodavajući niti oduzimajući. (14) Na zajedničkom sastanku ispovijedaj svoje prestupke, i ne pristupaj k svojoj molitvi sa zlom savješću. To je put života. (1) A evo puta smrti: prije svega, to je zao put i pun prokletstva: ubojstva, preljubi, požude, bludna djela, krađe, idolopoklonstva, magije, vračanja, otimačine, kriva svjedočenja, himbe, dvoličnost, prevara, oholost, zloba, hvastavost, lakomost, sramotno govorenje, zavist, drskost, bahatost, bezočno hvastanje vlastitom zloćom, pomanjkanje straha Božjega; (2) progonitelji dobrih, mrzitelji istine, ljubitelji laži, koji ne poznaju plaću pravednosti, koji se ne drže dobra i pravedna suda, koji bdiju ne za dobro nego za zlo; od kojih je daleko krotkost i strpljivost, koji ljube isprazne stvari, koji istjeruju povrat, bez smilovanja za siromaha, bez sućuti za iscrpljenoga, koji ne poznaju svoga Stvoritelja, ubojice djece, uništavatelji stvorenja Božjega, koji tjeraju od sebe potrebnoga, pritištu potlačenoga, zagovornici bogataša, nepravedni suci siromaha koji žive od rada, okaljani svim grijesima. Drži se, dijete, daleko od tih. (1) Gledaj da te tko ne zavede izvan toga puta Upute, jer takav te uči nečemu što je izvan Boga. (2) Ako naime možeš nositi čitav jaram Gospodnji, bit ćeš savršen; ako pak ne možeš, čini ono što možeš. (3) A što se tiče jela, uzmi sve što možeš, ali se potpuno uzdržavaj onoga što je žrtvovano idolima: to znači kult mrtvih bogova. (1) A što se tiče krsta, krstite ovako: pošto ste sve to prije rekli, krstite u ime Oca i Sina i Duha Svetoga, u tekućoj vodi. (2) Ako pak nemaš tekuće vode, krsti u drugoj vodi; ako ne možeš u hladnoj, onda u toploj. (3) A u pomanjkanju i jedne i druge, izlij triput vodu na glavu u ime Oca i Sina i Duha Svetoga. (4) A prije krštenja neka krstitelj i krštenik i drugi, ako koji mogu, održe post: kršteniku naredi da posti jedan ili dva prethodna dana. (1) A vaši postovi neka ne budu zajedno s postovima hipokrita; oni naime poste drugi i peti dan u tjednu; a vi postite četvrti dan i dan priprave. (2) Također ne molite kao hipokriti, nego kao što je zapovjedio Gospodin u svome Evanđelju, ovako molite: Oče naš koji si na nebu, neka bude sveto tvoje ime, neka dođe tvoje kraljevstvo, neka se ostvari tvoja volja i na zemlji kao što je na nebu. kruh naš svakodnevni daj danas. I otpusti nam naš dug kao što mi otpuštamo svojim dužnicima. I ne stavi nas u kušnju, nego izbavi nas od zla: Jer tvoja je moć i slava u vjekove. Amen. (3) Tako molite tri puta dnevno. (1) A što se tiče euharistije, ovako iskazujte hvalu: (2) Najprije o čaši: Hvalu ti dajemo, Oče naš, za sveti trs Davida sluge tvojega; koji si nam dao spoznati po Isusu, svome sluzi: tebi slava u vijeke. Amen. (3) A o razlomljenom kruhu: Hvalu ti dajemo, Oče naš, za život i spoznaju, koju si nam dao spoznati o Isusu svome sluzi: tebi slava u vijeke. Amen. (4) Kao što bijaše ovaj razlomljeni kruh raspršen po bregovima, i sabran postade jedan, tako neka se sabere tvoja Crkva s krajeva zemlje u tvoje kraljevstvo. Jer: tvoja je slava i moć u vijeke. Amen. (5) A nitko neka ne jede niti pije od ove euharistije, nego samo oni koji su kršteni u ime Gospodnje. Jer u vezi s time rekao je Gospodin: Ne dajte svetinje psima. (1) A pošto se nasitite, ovako iskazujte hvalu: (2) Hvalu ti dajemo, Oče sveti, poradi svetoga Imena tvoga, koje si stavio da stanuje u našim srcima, i poradi spoznaje i vjere i besmrtnosti, koje si nam dao spoznati po Isusu svome sluzi: tebi slava u vijeke. Amen. (3) Ti si Gospodaru svemogući, sve stvorio poradi imena svoga, dao si sinovima ljudskim hranu i piće da uživaju i da ti iskazuju hvalu, a nama si po svome sluzi Isusu milosno podario duhovnu hranu i piće za vječni život. (4) Prije svega te hvalimo jer si moćan: tebi slava u vijeke. Amen. (5) Spomeni se Gospode, Crkve svoje, da je izbaviš od svega zla i da je usavršiš u svojoj ljubavi. Saberi je od četiri vjetra, posvećenu, u svoje kraljevstvo koje si joj pripravio. Jer: tvoja je moć i slava u vijeke. Amen. (6) Neka dođe milost, i neka prođe ovaj svijet! Amen. Hosana domu Davidovu! Tko je svet, neka dođe! A tko nije, neka se obrati. Maranatha! Amen. (7) A prorocima dopustite, da iskazuju hvalu kako hoće. (1) Tko, dakle, dođe i upućuje vas u sve to što je prije rečeno, primite ga. (2) Ako pak sam bude krivi učitelj te naučava drukčije upute, da bi razorio, nemojte ga slušati. A ako naučava s nakanama da poveća pravednost i spoznaju Gospodnju, primite ga kao Gospodina. (3) Što se tiče apostola i proroka, činite kako je po pravilu evanđelja. (4) Svaki apostol koji dođe k vama neka bude primljen kao Gospodin; (5) no neće ostati dulje od jednog dana; ako pak bude potrebno, i slijedeći; ako pak ostane tri dana, to je lažni prorok. (6) I nijednog proroka koji govori u nadahnuću nemojte iskušavati niti prosuđivat, jer svaki će se grijeh otpustit, ali taj se grijeh neće otpustiti. (7) No nije svaki koji govori u nadahnuću prorok, nego samo ako ima ponašanje Gospodnje. Prema ponašanju, dakle, raspoznat će se lažni prorok i pravi prorok. (8) I nijedan prorok, naređujući u nadahnuću da se postavi stol, ne jede s njega; ako se tako ne vlada, to je lažni prorok. (9) Svaki prorok koji uči istinu, ako ne čini ono što uči, to je lažni prorok. (10) A nijednog proroka koji je utvrđen kao pravi prorok, ako izvede nešto za kozmički misterij Crkve ali ne uči da se čini što on čini, vi ne sudite: pred Bogom će biti suđen. Jer tako su činili i nekadašnji proroci. (11) A koji rekne u nadahnuću: Daj mi novce ili što drugo, ne slušajte ga. No ako rekne da se dade za druge koji su u potrebi, neka ga nitko ne sudi. (1) A svaki koji dođe k vama u ime Gospodnje neka bude primljen. Zatim ćete ga procijeniti, i spoznati – jer imate razum – desnicu i ljevicu. (2) Ako je pridošlica putnik na prolazu, pomozite mu koliko možete: no neće ostati kod vas više od dva ili tri dana, ako je nužno. (3) Ako pak hoće kod vas zasjesti, a ima svoj zanat, neka radi i tako se hrani. (4) Ako nema zanata, providite prema vašem razboru, da se ne dogodi da kršćanin među vama živi u besposlici. (5) Ako pak to neće prihvatiti, taj trguje Kristom; čuvajte se takvih. (1) No, svaki pravi prorok koji hoće da se kod vas smjesti, zaslužuje svoju hranu. (2) Isto tako i pravi učitelj: dostojan je i on kao radnik svoje plaće. (3) Uzmi dakle od prvine proizvoda s preše, gumna, volova i ovaca, i daj prorocima: oni su naime vaši veliki svećenici. (4) Ako pak nemate proroka, dajte siromasima. (5) Ako pečeš kruh, uzmi prvine i daj ih, prema zapovijedi. (6) Isto tako kad otvoriš sud s vidnom ili uljem, uzmi prvine i daj prorocima. (7) A od novca i ruha i svega imutka uzmi prvine prema svojoj procjeni i daj prema zapovijedi. (1) U dan Gospodnji sabirite se zajedno te lomite kruh i vršite euharistiju, ispovijedajući prijestupe, da vaša žrtva bude čista. (2) A nijedan koji ima neki spor sa svojim drugom, neka se ne pojavi na vašem sastanku dok se nisu pomirili, da se ne okalja vaša žrtva. (3) Jer to je žrtva o kojoj reče Gospodin: Na svakom mjestu i u svako vrijeme neka mi se prinosi žrtva čista, jer ja sam veliki kralj, govori Gospodin, i čudesno je moje ime među narodima. (1) Postavite dakle sebi biskupe i đakone dostojne Gospodina, muževe krotke i koji nisu pohlepni za novcem, istinoljubive i prokušane, jer vam i oni vrše službu proroka i učitelja. (2) Nemojte ih dakle omalovažavati: oni su vaše časne osobe, zajedno sa prorocima i učiteljima. (3) Ispravljajte jedni druge, ne u srdžbi već miroljubivo, kao što imate u evanđelju; a s nijednim koji pristrano i beobzirno postupa protiv drugoga neka nitko ne govori, i neka se ne čuje od vas riječ dok se ne preobrati. (4) A svoje molitve, milostinje i sva djela činite onako kako imate u evanđelju našega Gospodina. (1) Bdijte nad svojim životom! Vaše svjetiljke neka se ne ugase, ne skidajte pojasa sa svojih bokova, već budite spremni: jer ne znate sata u koji dolazi naš Gospodin. (2) Često se skupljajte zajedno tražeći ono što je za vaše duše; jer vam sve vrijeme vaše vjere neće koristiti ako se ne nađete savršeni u posljednji čas. (3) U posljednje će se dane, naime, umnožiti lažni proroci i kvaritelji, ovce će se preobratiti u vukove, ljubav će se preobratiti u mržnju. (4) Kad poraste bezakonje, jedni će druge zamrziti i progoniti i izdavati, i tada će se pojaviti zavodnik svijeta kao sin Božji, i činit će znakove i čudesa, i zemlja će se predati u njegove ruke, i počinit će zlodjela kakva se ne dogodiše nikad od početka vijeka. (5) Tada će svaki stvor ljudski ući u vatru kušnje, i mnogi će se smutiti i propasti; a koji ustraju u svojoj vjeri, bit će spašeni od samoga groba. (6) I tada će se ukazati znakovi istine: najprije znak otvorenog neba, zatim znak glasa trublje, i treći, uskrsnuće mrtvih. (7) No ne svih, nego kako je rečeno: Doći će Gospodin i svi sveti s njime. (8) Tada će vidjeti svijet Gospodina kako dolazi na oblacima nebeskim.
