Chapter 10: Recognition of Their Kindness

You have done well in receiving Philo, Gaius, and Agathopus, who, being the servants of Christ, have followed me for the sake of God, and who greatly bless the Lord on your behalf, because you have refreshed them in every way. None of the things you have done for them will be overlooked without being credited to you. "The Lord grant" to you "that you may find mercy of the Lord in that day!" May my spirit be for you, and my bonds, which you have not despised or been ashamed of. Therefore, neither shall Jesus Christ, our perfect hope, be ashamed of you.
