CHAPTER 2
1 And ye were all ᵃhumble, boasting of nothing, ᵇsubmitting yourselves rather than subjecting others, more gladly ᶜgiving than receiving, ᵈcontent with the provision that God had given you; and attending diligently to his words, ye received them into your very hearts, and his sufferings were before your eyes.
2 Thus a deep and rich peace was given to all, and an insatiable longing for doing good, and a plentiful outpouring of the Holy Spirit was upon all of you.
3 And ye, being filled with a holy desire, with excellent zeal and pious confidence, stretched out your arms to Almighty God, beseeching him to be merciful unto you, if ye had in anything unwillingly done amiss.
4 Ye contended day and night for the whole brotherhood, that in his mercy and good pleasure the number of his elect might be ᵃsaved.
5 Ye were simple and sincere without malice one toward another:
6 all sedition and all ᵃschism were abominable unto you. Ye grieved over the transgressions of your neighbour, judging his short-comings your own.
8 and being adorned with a very virtuous and holy habit of life, ye did all things in his fear. The commandments and ordinances of the Lord were ᵃwritten on the breadth of your heart.
