And if any of the clerics in each city or country have been barred from the priesthood by Nestorius and those who are with him because they held right opinions, we have judged it right that these too should receive back their own rank. And in general we command that the clerics who are of one mind with the orthodox and ecumenical council be in no way subject, in any manner whatever, to the bishops who have fallen away or are falling away.
Εἰ δέ τινες τῶν ἐν ἑκάστῃ πόλει, ἢ χώρᾳ κληρικῶν, ὑπὸ τοῦ Νεστορίου, καὶ τῶν σὺν αὐτῷ ὄντων, τῆς ἱερωσύνης ἐκωλύθησαν διὰ τὸ ὀρθῶς φρονεῖν, ἐδικαιώσαμεν καὶ τούτους τὸν ἴδιον ἀπολαβεῖν βαθμόν. Κοινῶς δὲ τοὺς τῇ ὀρθοδόξῳ καὶ οἰκουμενικῇ συνόδῳ συμφρονοῦντας κληρικούς, κελεύομεν τοῖς ἀποστατήσασιν, ἢ ἀφισταμένοις ἐπισκόποις, μηδόλως ὑποκεῖσθαι κατὰ μηδένα τρόπον.
