Chapter XIII.—Exhortation to meet
together frequently for the worship of God.
Take heed, then,
often to come together to give thanks to God, and show forth His praise.
For when
ye assemble frequently in the same place, the powers of Satan are
destroyed, and the destruction at which he aims576
is prevented by the unity of your faith.
Nothing is more precious than peace, by which all war, both in heaven and
earth,577
577 Literally,
“of heavenly and earthly things.” | is brought to
an end.
Take heed, then, often to come together to give thanks
to God, and show forth His praise. For when ye come frequently together in
the same place, the powers of Satan are destroyed, and his “fiery
darts”578 urging to sin fall back
ineffectual. For your concord and harmonious
faith prove his destruction, and the torment of his assistants. Nothing
is better than that peace which is according to Christ, by which all war,
both of aërial and terrestrial spirits, is brought to an end. “For
we wrestle not against blood and flesh, but against principalities and
powers, and against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in heavenly places.”579
