A man being a servant of the devil
cannot follow Christ;
and if he follow Christ
he cannot be a servant of the devil.
Wherefore the Spirit of Christ
is given to every man, that
he may know good from evil;
wherefore,
I show unto you the way to judge;
for every thing which inviteth to do good,
and to persuade to believe in Christ,
is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ;
wherefore ye may know
with a perfect knowledge
it is of God.
But whatsoever thing
persuadeth men to do evil,
and believe not in Christ,
and deny him, and serve not God,
then ye may know
with a perfect knowledge
it is of the devil.
And now, seeing that
ye know the light
by which ye may judge,
which light is the light of Christ,
see that ye do not judge wrongfully;
for with that same judgment
which ye judge ye shall also be judged.
Wherefore, I beseech of you
that ye should search diligently
in the light of Christ
that ye may know good from evil;
and if ye will lay hold upon every good thing,
and condemn it not,
ye certainly will be a child of Christ.
