Abtilis · Section 80 of 83 · 1 passages

1Abṭelis, 89. If a bishop, or a presbyter, or a deacon is a slave and frees himself from his master and serves the sacrifice and the office of the church, and he is a slave to the nobles, he is removed. For God, blessed be His name, says: 'Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.'
