You did well to receive Philo and Rheus Agathopous as deacons of God, who followed me for the word of God. They also give thanks to the Lord for you because you refreshed them in every way. Nothing at all will be lost to you.
May my spirit and my chains be given for your lives—chains which you did not despise and were not ashamed of. Nor will Jesus Christ, our perfect hope, be ashamed of you.
