The Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians (Short Version)

The last times have come upon us. Let us therefore have a reverent spirit and fear the patience of God, so it does not lead to our condemnation. Let us either stand in awe of the wrath to come or show regard for the grace currently displayed—choose one or the other. Only in one way or another, let us be found in Christ Jesus for true life. Apart from Him, let nothing attract you, for whom I carry these bonds, these spiritual jewels, with which I may arise through your prayers, of which I earnestly ask to always be a partaker, so that I may be found among the Christians of Ephesus, who have always been of the same mind as the apostles through the power of Jesus Christ.
