You see, beloved, how great is the protection[*](Application to the Corinthians) given to those that are chastened by the Master, for he is a good father and chastens us that we may obtain mercy through his holy chastisement.

You therefore, who laid the foundation of the sedition, submit to the presbyters, and receive the correction of repentance, bending the knees of your hearts.
