CHAPTER 

 :  Now I write these things to you from Smyrna by

the hand of the Ephesians who are worthy of all

felicitation. And Crocus also, a name very dear to me,

is with me, with many others besides.

 :  As touching those who went before me from Syria

to Rome unto the glory of God, I believe that ye have

received instructions; whom also apprise that I am

near; for they all are worthy of God and of you, and

it becometh you to refresh them in all things.

 :  These things I write to you on the 9th before

the Kalends of September. Fare ye well unto the end in

the patient waiting for Jesus Christ.
