190. К пресвитеру Салюстию 137
Machine translation from the original · Show original
It was very sad for me to hear that both you and Presbyter Theophilus are both doing nothing. I learned that one of you said only five conversations until the month of October, while the other didn’t say a single one, and this seemed to me heavier than the local desert. Please, if this is not true, notify me; if it’s true, correct yourself; encourage one another; This makes me very sad, no matter how immensely I love you. But, what is even worse, by indulging in such inactivity and laziness and not fulfilling your duty, you will thus bring upon yourself great condemnation from God. How will you justify yourself in the fact that when others are persecuted, exiled, persecuted, you do not even want to show your concern for the needy flock by your appearance or word of instruction?
