1
Brothers and sisters, I do not write these things about righteousness from my own authority, but because you invited me.
2
Neither I nor anyone like me can follow the wisdom of the blessed and honored Paulos.
3
When he was among you in the presence of the generation then living, he accurately and firmly taught the Word of truth.
4
When he was absent, he also wrote letters to you.
5
If you study those writings, you can be built up in the faithfulness given to you.
6
Faith is mother of us all; hope follows after it, while love toward Elohim, toward the Anointed One, and toward neighbor goes before us.
7
Whoever remains within these things fulfills the command of righteousness.
8
Whoever possesses love is far from every sin.
