Similitude 9.27.1Those who believed from the tenth mountain, where there were trees sheltering some sheep, are like this:

Similitude 9.27.2bishops and hospitable people who always gladly welcomed God’s servants into their own houses without hypocrisy. The bishops always sheltered the needy and the widows unceasingly through their ministry, and always conducted themselves purely.

Similitude 9.27.3All these, therefore, will be sheltered by the Lord continually. Those who have done these things are glorious before God, and their place is already with the angels, if they persist to the end in ministering to the Lord.
