7. οἱ τοιοῦτοι πάντες στῆλαί εἰσιν καὶ τάφοι νεκρῶν, ἐφ’ οἷς γέγραπται μόνον ὀνόματα νεκρῶν ἀνθρώπων. 8. φεύγετε οὖν τὰς κακοτεχνίας καὶ ἐνέδρας τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ νῦν ἐνεργοῦντος ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου, μήποτε οἱ θλιβέντες ἐξασθενήσητε ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ· ἀλλὰ πάντες ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ γίνεσθε ἐν ἀμερίστῳ καρδίᾳ καὶ ψυχῇ θελούσῃ, σύμψυχοι, τὸ ἓν φρονοῦντες, πάντοτε τὰ αὐτὰ περὶ τῶν αὐτῶν δοξάζοντες, ἔν τε ἀνέσει καὶ κινδύνοις καὶ ἐν λύπαις καὶ ἐν χαρμοναῖς. 9. εὐχαριστῶ τῷ θεῷ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὅτι εὐσυνείδητός εἰμι ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ οὐκ ἔχει τις καυχήσασθαι οὔτε λάθρα οὔτε φανερῶς, ὅτι ἐβάρησά τινα ἢ ἐν μικρῷ ἢ ἐν μεγάλῳ. καὶ πᾶσιν, ἐν οἷς ἐλάλησα, εὔχομαι, ἵνα μὴ εἰς μαρτυρίαν αὐτὸ κτήσωνται.
