The following text (four pages long) is a translation of the complete text of the Didache. However, those passages I identify as later insertions into the Didache's earliest version (cf. Part One of The Gospel of Matthew's Dependence on the Didache) are italicised and off-set. The base layer that remains approximates, I propose, to the first Christian document: the so-called Apostolic Decree of c. AD 49.
