Shepherd of Hermas 26
Believe in One True God
Open in the reader →1First of all, believe that God is one—the one who created and ordered all things, and made all things out of nonexistence into being, and who contains all things, while he alone is uncontainable. Therefore believe him and fear him; and having feared, exercise self-control. Keep these things, and you will cast off all wickedness from yourself and put on every virtue of righteousness, and you will live to God, if you keep this command.
