Christians are faithfully to adhere to the doctrinally pure church.
For the strengthening of our faith we are to attend its worship services and other gatherings faithfully, heed the teaching that it offers and use the holy Sacraments.
As faithful members of the doctrinally pure church, we are to make use of our spiritual priesthood, and according to our ability financially support the work of the church, thus enabling the church to continue its activity and the spreading of God’s pure Word.
We must not be offended by the oppressed state of the church or by its small size.
We are to bear each other’s weaknesses patiently and live together in a spirit of brotherly love.
