Ignatius on False Teachers

I did hear of a visit paid to you by certain men from another place, whose teaching was pernicious. However, you refused to allow their dissemination among you, you stopped up your ears against the seed they were sowing.

There are some people who persistently bandy about the Name with the greatest hypocrisy, besides behaving in a number of other ways that do no credit to God. You must keep away from these men as you would from a pack of savage animals; they are rabid curs who snap the necks of unaware people, and you need to be on your guard against their bites, because they are by no means easy to heal.
