We take this course so that no one should blame us about this generous gift that is being administered by us,
Abstain from every form of evil.
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.
And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil.
“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
