The love of the Smyrnaeans and Ephesians greets you. Remember in your prayers the Church in Syria, in which I am not worthy even to be counted, being the least of its members.
Farewell in Jesus Christ, submitting to the bishop as to the commandment, and likewise to the presbytery. Each of you should love the others with an undivided heart.
My spirit is consecrated for you, not only now but also when I attain God. For I am still in danger; but the Father is faithful in Jesus Christ to fulfill both my petition and yours, in whom may you be found blameless.
