Testament of Our Lord

tr. Cooper and Maclean, 1902

26. Book II, Chapter 26

And thou¹ especially John, and Andrew and Peter, even now ye know all [the things] which I have spoken to you while I am with you, as also that which [is] in this Testament, in order that when ye deliver [them] to the nations the will of My Father may alway be accomplished, abiding² firm in carefulness, so that there may be good fruits in them that hear.

Ye know that I have spoken with you that a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit.³ All [things], then, that I have commanded you openly and secretly, do. And the God of tranquillity be with you.⁴
