The Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians (Long Version)
Chapter 21: Conclusion
My soul is for yours and theirs whom, for the honor of God, you have sent to Smyrna; from where I also write to you, giving thanks to the Lord, and loving Polycarp even as I do you. Remember me, as Jesus Christ also remembers you, who is blessed forever. Pray for the Church of Antioch which is in Syria, from where I am led bound to Rome, being the last of the faithful that are there, who have been thought worthy to carry these chains to the honor of God. Farewell in God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, our common hope, and in the Holy Ghost. Farewell. Amen. Grace [be with you].
