17 But you, my loved ones, keep in memory the words which were said before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
So that you may keep in mind the words of the holy prophets in the past, and the law of the Lord and Saviour which was given to you by his Apostles.
In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.
And he gave some as Apostles, and some, prophets; and some, preachers of the good news; and some to give care and teaching;
We are of God: he who has the knowledge of God gives ear to us; he who is not of God does not give ear to us. By this we may see which is the true spirit, and which is the spirit of error.
