Good Conduct

In his ergo state et domini exemplar sequimini, firmi in fide et immutabiles, fraternitatis amatores, diligentes invicem, in veritate sociati, mansuetudine domini alterutri praestolantes, nullum despicientes. Cum possitis benefacere, nolite differre, quia eleëmosyna de morte liberat. Omnes vobis invicem subiecti estote, conversationem vestram irreprehensibilem habentes in gentibus, ut ex bonis operibus vestris et vos laudem accipiatis et dominus in vobis non blasphemetur. Vae autem per quem nomen domini blasphematur. Sobrietatem ergo docete omnes in qua et vos conversamini. Sanctus Polycarpus, Epistola Ad Philippenses Source: Migne PG 5.1013

In these things stand, and follow the Lord as example, firm and immovable in faith, lovers of fraternity, delighting in one another, companions in truth, giving way to one another in the meekness of the Lord, despising no one. When you are able to be of benefit, do not delay, because alms-giving delivers from death. 1 Let everyone be subject to one another, having behaviour that is creditable among the Gentiles, so that from your good works you will receive praise and the Lord will not be blasphemed because of you. Woe to him through whom the name of the Lord is blasphemed. 2 Therefore teach everyone to be sensible, even by the way you conduct yourselves. Saint Polycarp of Smyrna, Letter to the Phillipians. 1 Tob 12.9 2 Rom 2.24, Isaiah 52.5, Ezek 36.22
