Saint Ignatius of Antioch (30-107)

Epistle to the Magnesians

Shorter Version

Translated by Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson

Chapter 4


It is fitting, then, not only to be called Christians, but to be so in reality: as some indeed give one the title of bishop, but do all things without him. Now such persons seem to me to be not possessed of a good conscience, seeing they are not stedfastly gathered together according to the commandment.
