The text discusses the contrast between a society governed by external, hierarchical authority, which can lead to either societal weakness or brittle rigidity, and a Christian system guided by the Holy Spirit that promotes self-sufficiency and mutual respect. In the Christian model, each individual's work is valued and compensated, eliminating debts, taxes, and social issues, thereby fostering peace and cohesion. The passage advocates for a transformation towards a Christian society where the church facilitates a fair and self-sustaining system, free from the oppressive influences of the state.
