Chapter 13
1 The love of the Smyrnaeans greets you, and the Edessenians. Remember in your prayers the Church in Syria, from which I am not worthy to be called, being the least of them.[1]
2 Farewell in Jesus Christ, submitting to the bishop as to a commandment, and likewise to the presbytery. And love one another, each and every one with an undivided heart.
3 Your spirit is sanctified by my spirit, not only now but also when I attain to God. For I am still in danger; but God the Father is faithful in Jesus Christ to fulfill my petition and yours, in which you may be found blameless.[2]
