My soul be for yours and theirs whom, for the honour of God, ye have
sent to Smyrna; whence also I write to you, giving thanks to the Lord,
and loving Polycarp even as I do you. Remember me, as Jesus Christ also
remembers you, who is blessed for evermore. Pray ye for the Church of
Antioch which is in Syria, whence I am led bound to Rome, being the last
of the faithful that are there,

who yet have been thought worthy to carry these chains to the honour of
God. Fare ye well in God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, our
common hope, and in the Holy Ghost. Fare ye well. Amen. Grace [be with
you].
