8:1 Let not your fastings be with the hypocrites, for they fast on the
perfect; 6:3 but if you are not able, do what you can. 6:4 But concerning food, bear what you can; 6:5 yet abstain by all means from meat sacrificed to idols; 6:6 for it is the worship of dead gods.
Chapter 7. 7:1 But concerning baptism, thus shall you baptize. 7:2 Having first taught all these things, baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit in living (running) water. 7:3 But if you have not living water, then baptize in other water; 7:4 and if you are not able in cold, then in warm. 7:5 But if you have neither, then pour water on the head thrice in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. 7:6 But before the baptism let him who baptizes and him who is baptized fast, and any others also who can; 7:7 and you shall order him who is baptized to fast a day or two before.
Chapter 8. 8:1 Let not your fastings be with the hypocrites, for they fast on the second and the fifth day of the week; 8:2 but keep your fast on the fourth and on the preparation day (Friday). 8:3 And do not pray like the hypocrites, but pray as the Lord commanded in His Gospel;. 8:4 Our Father, who are in heaven, hallowed be Your name; 8:5 Your kingdom come; 8:6 Your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth; 8:7 give us this day our daily bread; 8:8 and forgive us our debt, as we also forgive our debtors; 8:9 and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one; 8:10 for Yours is the power and the glory for ever and ever. 8:11 Pray thus three times in the day.
