[1] Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς, οὐκ ἐγώ, ἀλλ̓ ἡ ἀγάπη Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ: μόνῃ τῇ χριστιανῇ τροφῇ χρῆσθε, ἀλλοτρίας δὲ βοτάνης ἀπέχεσθε, ἥτις ἐστὶν αἵρεσις:

[2] οἳ ἑαυτοῖς ¹ παρεμπλέκουσιν Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν καταξιοπιστευόμενοι, ὥσπερ θανάσιμον φάρμακον διδόντες μετὰ οἰνομέλιτος, ὅπερ ὁ ἀγνοῶν ἡδέως λαμβάνει ἐν ἡδονῇ κακῇ ² τὸ ἀποθανεῖν.

The Epistles of Saint Ignatius Perseus (Ignatius of Antioch. The Apostolic Fathers, Volume 1. Lake, Kirsopp, translator. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press; London: William Heinemann Ltd., 1912.) — 3.6 focus

[1] I beseech you therefore (yet not I but the love¹ of Jesus Christ) live only on Christian fare, and refrain from strange food, which is heresy.

[2] For these men mingle Jesus Christ with themselves in specious honesty, mixing as it were a deadly poison with honeyed wine, which the ignorant takes gladly in his baneful pleasure, and it is his death.
