The love of the Smyrnaeans and Ephesians saluteth you. Remember in your prayers the church which is in Syria; whereof I am not worthy to be called a member, being the very last of them.
2Fare ye well in Jesus Christ, submitting yourselves to the bishop as to the commandment, and likewise also to the presbytery; and each of you severally love one another with undivided heart.
3My spirit is offered up for you, not only now, but also when I shall attain unto God. For I am still in peril; but the Father is faithful in Jesus Christ to fulfil my petition and yours. May we be found unblameable in Him.
