## Greek text

Φυλάττεσθε οὖν τοὺς τοιούτους. τοῦτο δὲ ἔσται ὑμῖν μὴ φυσιουμένοις καὶ οὖσιν ἀχωρίστοις θεοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἐπισκόπου καὶ τῶν διαταγμάτων τῶν ἀποστόλων.

## English translation (Claude)

Be on your guard, then, against such people. And you will be, if you are not puffed up and are inseparable from God, Jesus Christ, and from the bishop and the ordinances of the apostles.

## Translation notes

- “God, Jesus Christ” (θεοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ): or “our God Jesus Christ” or “God and Jesus Christ.”
