Note (return) — Chapter II
Neil Buchanan translation
II. The essential content of this manifestation (besides the revelation and the verification of the oneness and spirituality of God),154 is, first of all, the message of the resurrection and eternal life (αναστασις ζωη αιωνιος), then the preaching of moral purity and continence (εγκρατεια), on the basis of repentance toward God (μετανοια), and of an expiation once assured by baptism, with eye ever fixed on the requital of good and evil.155
