Безначалие

Machine translation from the original · Show original
Sheep, do not feed the shepherds and do not go beyond your borders; it is enough for you if you are in good pasture. Do not judge judges, do not prescribe laws to legislators. God is not a God of disorder and confusion, but of peace and order (1 Cor. 14:33). Therefore, let no one who can hardly serve as an arm, or a leg, or another, even less important member of the body, plot to become a head; on the contrary, brothers, each one remain in the rank in which he was called (1 Cor. 7:20), even if he were worthy of the highest. To be content with the present is much more commendable than to strive for a title that you have not received. He who can follow another without danger, do not want to lead with danger to himself. Let the law of subordination, which holds together both earthly and heavenly, not be violated, so that through multiplicity we do not reach the point of anarchy (1). You might be interested in:
