Just as the Lord, being united with the Father, did nothing without him, either by himself or through the apostles, so you also should do nothing without the bishop and the presbyters. Do not try to make anything seem reasonable to you privately, but in common let there be one prayer, one petition, one mind, one hope in love, in blameless joy, which is Jesus Christ, than whom there is nothing better.
All of you run together as into one temple of God, as to one altar, to one Jesus Christ, who came forth from the one Father, was with the One, and returned to the One.
