Epistula ad Philippenses

I am deeply sorry for Valens, who was once[*](Valens) made a presbyter among you, that he so little understands the place which was given to him. I advise, therefore, that you keep from avarice, and be pure and truthful. Keep yourselves from all evil.

For[*](Against avarice) how may he who cannot attain self-control in these matters enjoin it on another? If any man does not abstain from avarice he will be defiled by idolatry, and shall be judged as if he were among the Gentiles who know not the judgment of God. Or do we not know that the saints shall judge the world? as Paul teaches.
