sends you greetings. Remember in your prayers the Church
To THE TRALLIANS
the obtaining of which my heart is set,** and shall not be found a reprobate.
13. The love of the Smyrnaeans* and the Ephesians sends you greetings. Remember in your prayers the Church in Syria, to which I do not deserve to belong, being the least of her members. 2 Farewell in the name of Jesus Christ.
Be obedient to the bishop as to the commandment, and so, too, to the presbytery. And love one another, man for man," with undivided heart. 3 My spirit is consecrated to you, not only now, but also when I have happily made my way to God. For I am still in danger. But then, the Father is faithful and will, in Jesus Christ, answer both my and your prayer.
May you in union with Him be found above reproach.
