ΛΕ. Περὶ τοῦ μὴ λατρεύειν ἀγγέλοις
Ὅτι οὐ δεῖ χριστιανοὺς ἐγκαταλιπεῖν τὴν δόξαν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὴν ἐκκλησίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀγγέλους ὀνομάζειν καὶ συνάξεις ποιεῖν, ἅπερ ἀπηγόρευται. Εἴ τις οὖν εὑρεθείη ταύτῃ τῇ κεκερυμμένῃ εἰδωλολατρείᾳ σχολάζων, ἔστω ἀνάθεμα, ὅτι ἐγκατέλιπεν τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἰδωλολατρείᾳ προσῆλθεν.
'Canon 35. It is not allowed to worship angels.
Christians must not forsake the worship of God and his church, and invoke angels and hold assemblies, which things are forbidden. If, therefore, someone is found engaged in this covert idolatry, let him be anathema; for he has forsaken our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and has gone over to idolatry.'
