CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The love of the Smyrnaeans and Ephesians salutes you. Remember our
Church which is in Syria, from which I am not worthy to receive my
appellation, being the last of those of that place. Fare ye well in the
Lord Jesus Christ, while ye continue subject to the bishop, and in like
manner to the presbyters and to the deacons.

And do ye, every man, love one another with an undivided heart. My
spirit salutes you, not only now, but also when I shall have attained to
God; for I am as yet exposed to danger. But the Father of Jesus Christ
is faithful to fulfil both mine and your petitions: in whom may we be
found without spot. May I have joy of you in the Lord.
