CHAPTER 

 :  Ignatius, who is also Theophorus, unto her that

hath found mercy in the bountifulness of the Father

Most High and of Jesus Christ His only Son; to the

church that is beloved and enlightened through the

will of Him who willed all things that are, by faith

and love towards Jesus Christ our God; even unto her

that hath the presidency in the country of the region

of the Romans, being worthy of God, worthy of honour,

worthy of felicitation, worthy of praise, worthy of

success, worthy in purity, and having the presidency

of love, walking in the law of Christ and bearing the

Father's name; which church also I salute in the name

of Jesus Christ the Son of the Father; unto them that

in flesh and spirit are united unto His every

commandment, being filled with the grace of God

without wavering, and filtered clear from every

foreign stain; abundant greeting in Jesus Christ our

God in blamelessness.
