Canon 60
About penance for those pretending to be possessed as if they were possessed.
Since the apostle proclaims that he who unites himself with the Lord is one spirit with the Lord (1 Cor. 6:17), it is obvious that he who assimilates himself to the enemy becomes one with him because of the union. So, those who pretend to be possessed and hypocritically portray them because of the depravity of their morals, it was decided to punish in every possible way and subject them to the same hardships and labors that those truly possessed would rightly be subjected to in order to be freed from the influence of the demon.
Greek original
Τοῦ Ἀποστόλου βοῶντος, ὅτι ὁ κολλώμενος τῷ Κυρίῳ ἓν πνεῦμά ἐστι, πρόδηλον, ὡς καὶ ὁ τῷ ἐναντίῳ ἑαυτὸν οἰκειῶν, ἐν γίνεται τῇ πρὸς αὐτὸν συναφείᾳ. Τοὺς τοίνυν δαιμονᾷν ὑποκρινομένους, καὶ τρόπων φαυλότητι προσποιητῶς τὰ ἐκείνων σχηματιζομένους, ἔδοξε τρόπῳ ἐπιτιμᾶσθαι παντί, καὶ τοιαύταις αὐτοὺς σκληραγωγίαις, καὶ πόνοις ὑποβάλλειν, οἷς ἂν οἱ ἀληθῶς δαιμονῶντες πρὸς ἀπαλλαγὴν τῆς τοῦ δαίμονος ἐνεργείας, ἀξίως ὑποβάλλοιντο.
