The Didache 27 – Thanks When All Are Filled

The Didache 20 – Who Causes You To Err?
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. See that no one causes you to err from this way of the Teaching, since apart from God it teaches you. The construction of the sentence above is awkward in this, probably more literal, translation. I’ve read a number of the [...]

The Didache 19 – The Way of Death
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. And the way of death is this: First of all it is evil and accursed: murders, adultery, lust, fornication, thefts, idolatries, magic arts, witchcrafts, rape, false witness, hypocrisy, double-heartedness, deceit, haughtiness, depravity, self-will, greediness, filthy talking, jealousy, over-confidence, loftiness, boastfulness; persecutors [...]

The Didache 18 – Confession
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. In the church you shall acknowledge your transgressions, and you shall not come near for your prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of life. The Teaching emphasizes confession. As in James, the earliest records are of confession before [...]

The Didache 16 – Do Not Engender Bitterness
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. Do not remove your hand from your son or daughter; rather, teach them the fear of God from their youth. Do not enjoin anything in your bitterness upon your bondman or maidservant, who hope in the same God, lest ever they [...]

The Didache 10 – The Second Commandment

The Didache 6 – Be Perfect
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. If someone strikes your right cheek, turn to him the other also, and you shall be perfect. This line of the teaching haunts me. It echos Jesus in its call for us to live the way of love and by so [...]

The Didache 5 – Abstain from Worldly Lusts
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. Abstain from fleshly and worldly lusts. This line has always confused me since it’s dropped in the middle of the section on the way of life and does not seem to relate to either what came before or what follows. It [...]
The Didache 4 – Have No Enemies
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. For what reward is there for loving those who love you? Do not the Gentiles do the same? But love those who hate you, and you shall not have an enemy. The way of Jesus, the way of life, is the [...]
