[00:00:00]How then do the Oscuris Severus and their followers not tremble when they assert that the immortal divinity of Christ suffered during his saving passion?

[00:00:10]For this reason, I counsel you as a faithful friend and beloved brother to withdraw from their impure association and flattering conversation with them if you truly desire to preserve yourself in soundness of the right faith handed down from the fathers. For evil company corrupts good habits as the apostolic word says. And again, "Reject a heretical man after the first and second admonition."
