a wrong? = Verse One
2. Cannot the Church Judge and settle
its own affairs = "the smallest matters"

can it Gin the next Age judge and rule
the world and angels?
3. All things pertaining to the Church
Except doctrine), including difficulties be-
tween the members, always should be set

ideal plan is to have the mind of Christ and
settle all differences among yourselves.

Overseer and whomever he may appoint
to hear your case. Their decision is final

terers, no effeminate, no self-abusers nor
abusers of mankind, no thieves, no covetous

revilers Ono railers on the General Over
seer, the Apostles and the brethren) nor
extortioners shall ever inherit this won
derfu Immortality and Co-rulership in the
