Summary: As God's holy portion, flee slander, impurity, drunkenness, rebellion, adultery, and pride.

## Greek text

Ἁγίου οὖν μερὶς ὑπάρχοντες ποιήσωμεν τὰ τοῦ ἁγιασμοῦ πάντα, φεύγοντες καταλαλιάς, μιαράς τε καὶ ἀνάγνους συμπλοκάς, μέθας τε καὶ νεωτερισμοὺς καὶ βδελυκτὰς ἐπιθυμίας, μυσερὰν μοιχείαν, βδελυκτὴν ὑπερηφανίαν.

## English translation (Claude)

Since, then, we are the portion of the Holy One, let us do all the things of holiness, fleeing slander, foul and impure embraces, drunkenness and rebellion and detestable desires, abominable adultery, detestable pride.

## Translation notes
