To those who carry out the charge
You, whose office it is to carry out what is given you in charge by him before whom you stand: how nearly you are concerned to resemble those who stand before the face of the Son of man. Those servants of his who do his pleasure, and listen to the voice of his words. Does it not highly concern you to be as uncorrupt as they are? To approve yourselves the servants of God? To do justly, and to love mercy? To do to all as you would have them do to you? So shall that great Judge, under whose eye you continually stand, say to you also, Well done, good and faithful servants. Enter into the joy of your Lord.

3. You, whose office it is to execute what is given you in charge by him before whom you stand; how nearly are you concerned to resemble those, that stand before the face of the Son of man? Those servants of his that do his pleasure, and hearken to the voice of his words. Does it not highly import you, to be as uncorrupt as them? To approve yourselves the servants of God? To do justly and love mercy; to do to all as ye would they should do to you? So shall that great Judge, under whose eye you continually stand, say to you also, Well done, good and faithful servants: enter ye into the joy of your Lord!
