Polycarp, translated by William Wake, The suppressed Gospels and Epistles of the original New Testament of Jesus the Christ (1863)
“ For he that in these things cannot govern himself, how shall he be able to prescribe them to another? 3 If a man does not keep himself from covetousness, he shall be polluted with idolatry, and be judged as if he were a Gentile. 4 But who of you are ignorant of the judgment of God? Do we not know that the saints shall judge the world, as Paul teaches? ”
Polycarp, translated by William Wake, The suppressed Gospels and Epistles of the original New Testament of Jesus the Christ (1863)
“ For it is good to be cut off from the lusts that are in the world; because every such lust warreth against the spirit: and neither fornicators, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, shall inherit the kingdom of God; nor they who do such things as are foolish and unreasonable. ”
Polycarp, translated by William Wake, The suppressed Gospels and Epistles of the original New Testament of Jesus the Christ (1863)
“ CHAP. III. 1 As to faith in our Saviour Christ; his nature and sufferings, the resurrection and judgment. 3 Exhorts to prayer 5 and steadfastness in the faith, from the examples of Christ, 7 and Apostles and saints, and exhorts to carefulness in all well-doing. FOR whosoever does not confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, he is Antichrist: and whoever does not confess his suffering upon the cross, is from the devil. 2 And whosoever perverts the oracles of the Lord to his own lusts, and says that there shall neither be any resurrection, nor judgment, he is the first-born of Satan. ”
