202. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Col. ii. 8.
203. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you, than ye have received, let him be accursed. Gal. i. 9.
204. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema maranatha. 1 Cor. xvi. 22.
205 A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition, reject. Titus iii. 10.
206. But Elymas the sorcerer, (for so his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul (who also is called Paul) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him and said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, will thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness: and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Acts xiii. 8 to 11.
BARNABAS AND PAUL.
207. And some days after, Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do. And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them, to the work. And the contention was so sharp between them that they departed asunder one from another; and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed into Cyprus. And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. Acts xv. 36 to 40.
