The Letter of Barnabas
"The way of light, then, is as follows. If anyone desires to travel to the
appointed place, he must be zealous in his works. The knowledge, therefore,
which is given to us for the purpose of walking in this way, is the
following....Thou shalt not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again,
shalt thou destroy it after it is born" (Letter of Barnabas 19 [A.D. 74]
).
