3.1

Do not let those who appear trustworthy but teach a different doctrine overwhelm you. Stand firm as an anvil being struck. It belongs to a great athlete to be beaten and to conquer. Above all, we must endure everything for the sake of God, so that he also may bear with us.

3.2

Become more diligent than you are. Study the times. Await the one who is above time, the timeless, the invisible, who for us became visible; the untouchable, the impassible, who for us became passible; the one who in every way endured for us.
