Note 51 — THE “TEACHING OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES”
Reading edition
Chap. XII.—And let every one that cometh in [the] Lord’s name be received, but afterwards ye shall test and know him; for ye shall have understanding, right and left. If he who cometh is a wayfarer, help him as much as ye can; but he shall not remain with you, unless for two or three days, if there be necessity. But if he will take up his abode among you, being a craftsman, let him work and so eat; but if he have no craft, provide, according to your understanding; that no idler live with you as a Christian. But if he will not act according to this, he is a Christmonger;51 beware of such.
