Be eager, therefore, to be firmly established in the doctrines of the Lord and the apostles, so that in everything you do you may prosper in flesh and spirit, in faith and love, in the Son and the Father and in the Spirit, in beginning and end, together with your most worthy bishop, the worthy spiritual crown formed by your presbytery, and the deacons who serve according to God.
Submit to the bishop and to one another, as Jesus Christ to the Father and the apostles to Christ and to the Father, so that there may be union both in flesh and in spirit.
