«This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: / That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: / Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, / And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.»

«Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, / And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: / Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.»
«The three great apostles of practical atheism, that make converts without persecuting, and retain them without preaching, are wealth, health, and power.»
