Epistle to the Romans (Short Version)

Remember in your prayers the Church in Syria, which now has God as its shepherd instead of me. Jesus Christ alone will oversee it, and your love will also regard it. But as for me, I am ashamed to be counted among them; for indeed, I am not worthy, as being the very last of them and one born out of due time. But I have obtained mercy to be someone if I shall attain to God. My spirit greets you, and 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 which were not near to me physically have gone before me, city by city, to meet me.
