Chapter 12

1 I know who I am and to whom I write. I am condemned, you are shown mercy; I am in danger, you are established.

2 You are the passage of those being led to God, fellow initiates of Paul, the one who was sanctified, who was witnessed to, worthy of blessing—may it be granted to me to be found in his footsteps, when I attain to God, he who mentions you in every letter in Christ Jesus.
