Be eager, therefore, to be firmly established in the doctrines of the Lord and the apostles, so that in everything you do you may prosper in flesh and spirit, in faith and love, in the Son and Father and in the Spirit, in beginning and end, together with your most worthy bishop, the worthily woven spiritual crown of your presbytery, and the deacons according to God.
Submit to the bishop and to one another, as Jesus Christ to the Father and the apostles to Christ and to the Father, so that there may be a union both fleshly and spiritual.
