Epistle to the Romans (Long Version)

Remember in your prayers the Church in Syria, which now has the Lord as its shepherd instead of me, who says, "I am the good Shepherd." He alone will oversee it, as well as your love for Him. But as for me, I am ashamed to be counted among them; for I am not worthy, being the very last of them, and one born out of due time. But I have obtained mercy to be somebody if I shall attain to God. My spirit greets you, along with the love of the Churches that have received me in the name of Jesus Christ, and not merely as a passer-by. For even those Churches that were not near to me on the way have supported me, city by city.
