  10. John 13.35 “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

  11. Athenagoras What, then, are those teachings in which we are brought up? "I say unto you, Love your enemies; bless them that curse you; pray for them that persecute you; that ye may be the sons of your Father who is in heaven, who causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust."

  12. Athenagoras …Who of [other religions] have so purged their souls as, instead of hating their enemies, to love them; and, instead of speaking ill of those who have reviled them… to bless them; and to pray for those who plot against their lives?

  13. Athenagoras …But among us you will find uneducated persons, and artisans, and old women, who, if they are unable in words to prove the benefit of our doctrine, yet by their deeds exhibit the benefit arising from their persuasion of its truth: they do not rehearse speeches, but exhibit good works; when struck, they do not strike again; when robbed, they do not go to law; they give to those that ask of them, and love their neighbors as themselves.

  14. 1 Peter 3.13-16 yet do it with gentlenessand respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
