Chapter
IX.—“Let Brotherly Love Continue.”
“But I know that ye will do these things if
you fix love into your minds; and for its entrance there is one only
fit means, viz., the common partaking of food.896
896 Literally,
“of salt.” | Wherefore see to it that ye be
frequently one another’s guests, as ye are able, that you may not
fail of it. For it is the cause of well-doing, and well-doing of
salvation. Therefore all of you present your provisions in common
to all your brethren in God, knowing that, giving temporal things, you
shall receive eternal things. Much more feed the hungry, and give
drink to the thirsty, and clothing to the naked; visit the sick;
showing yourselves to those who are in prison, help them as ye are
able, and receive strangers into your houses with all alacrity.
However, not to speak in detail, philanthropy will teach you to do
everything that is good, as misanthropy suggests ill-doing to those who
will not be saved.
