Not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And for what slew he him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother just. Be not amazed, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death to life, for we love the brethren. He not loving the brother remains in death. Every one hating his brother is a manslayer: and ye know that no man-slayer has eternal life remaining in him. In this have we known love, for he set his soul for us: and we ought to set the souls for the brethren. And whoever has the life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and should shut up his bowels from him, how remains the love of God in him?

And ye have totally forgotten the entreaty which is spoken to you as to sons, My son, neglect not the instruction of the Lord, nor be enervated being rebuked by him: For whom the Lord loves he corrects, and he chastises every son which he receives.

For they truly for a few days, according as it seemed to them, corrected; but he for profit, in order to partake in his holiness. And truly every correction for the present seems not to be for joy, but grief: and later it returns the peaceful fruit of justice to them being exercised by it.
