Epistle to the Ephesians 17The fate of false teachers.

Ignatius · The Ante-Nicene Fathers Volume I: The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus by Philip Schaff

Open in the reader

Do not err, my brethren. Those that corrupt families shall not inherit the kingdom of God. If, then, those who do this as respects the flesh have suffered death, how much more shall this be the case with any one who corrupts by wicked doctrine the faith of God, for which Jesus Christ was crucified! Such an one becoming defiled [in this way], shall go away into everlasting fire, and so shall every one that hearkens unto him.
