Laws in The Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles

The physicians of this world heal what belongs to the world. The physicians of souls, however, heal the heart.–Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles, Codex VI, 1

Heal the bodies first, therefore, so that through the real powers of healing for their bodies, without medicine of the world, they may believe in you, that you have power to heal the illnesses of the heart also.–Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles, Codex VI, 1

Judge with uprightness, so that your ministry may be glorified.–Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles, Codex VI, 1
