I desire no longer to live after the manner of men; and this shall be, if ye desire it. Desire ye, that ye yourselves also may be desired.
2In a brief letter I beseech you; believe me. And Jesus Christ shall make manifest unto you these things, that I speak the truth -- Jesus Christ, the unerring mouth in whom the Father hath spoken truly.
3Entreat ye for me, that I may attain. I write not unto you after the flesh, but after the mind of God. If I shall suffer, it was your desire; if I shall be rejected, it was your hatred.
