Epistle of Barnabas 4
1
We ought therefore to be very careful about the last times. For the whole time of our faith will profit us nothing, unless now in the lawless time and in the offences that are to be, as becometh sons of God, we resist.
2
That the Black One may find no opportunity for entrance, let us flee from every vanity, let us utterly hate the works of the way of wickedness.
3
Do not by retiring apart live alone, as though you were already justified, but assemble together and make common inquiry concerning that which tendeth to your general welfare.
4
For the scripture saith: Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight.
5
Let us become spiritual, let us become a temple perfected for God. As much as in us lies, let us exercise ourselves in the fear of God, and let us strive to keep His commandments, that we may rejoice in His ordinances.
6
The Lord will judge the world without respect of persons. Each man shall receive according to his deeds.
7
If a man be good, his righteousness shall go before him; if he be wicked, the reward of his wickedness is before him.
8
Take heed lest sitting at ease, as those that are called, we be found sinners, and the prince of evil receive power over us and thrust us out from the kingdom of the Lord.
9
Moreover consider this also, my brethren. When ye see that after such great signs and wonders were wrought in Israel, even then they were abandoned. Let us give heed, lest we be found, as the scripture saith, many are called but few are chosen.
