Epistle to the Magnesians (Short Version)

Therefore, strive to be established in the doctrines of the Lord and the apostles, so that everything you do may prosper both in the flesh and spirit; in faith and love; in the Son, and in the Father, and in the Spirit; from the beginning to the end; with your most admirable bishop, and the well-formed spiritual crown of your presbytery, and the deacons who are according to God. Be subject to the bishop, and to one another, as Jesus Christ is to the Father, according to the flesh, and the apostles are to Christ, and to the Father, and to the Spirit; so that there may be a union both fleshly and spiritual.
