Chapter 21

¹ I am your ransom, as are those whom you sent to Smyrna for the honour of God, from where I am also writing to you, giving thanks to the Lord, loving Polycarp as I do you. Remember me, as Jesus Christ also remembers you.

² Pray for the Church in Syria, from where I am being led in chains to Rome, being the least of the faithful there, though I have been counted worthy to be found for the honour of God. Farewell in God the Father and in Jesus Christ, our common hope. en:Epistle to the Ephesians
