Of those who forsook Christianity in the first century, the apostle Peter said: “Abandoning the straight path, they have been misled. ”
قَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بُطْرُسُ بِخُصُوصِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَخَلَّوْا عَنِ ٱلدِّينِ ٱلْمَسِيحِيِّ فِي ٱلْقَرْنِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ :‏ « تَرَكُوا ٱلسَّبِيلَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فَضَلُّوا » .‏
