8.1

I, then, was doing my own part as a human being prepared for unity. But where there is division and anger, God does not dwell. Therefore the Lord forgives all who repent, if they repent into the unity of God and the council of the bishop. I trust in the grace of Jesus Christ, who will loose every bond from you.

8.2

I urge you to do nothing according to selfish ambition, but according to what is learned from Christ. For I heard some saying, “Unless I find it in the archives, I do not believe it in the Gospel.” And when I said to them, “It is written,” they answered me, “That is the question.” But for me the archives are Jesus Christ; the inviolable archives are his cross and his death and his resurrection and the faith that is through him. In these I want to be justified through your prayer.
