Chapter 12: Greetings.

The love of your brethren at Troas greets you; from where I also write to you by Burgus, whom you sent with me, together with the Ephesians, your brethren, and who has refreshed me in all things. I wish that all may imitate him, as he is a model of a minister of God. The grace of the Lord will reward him in all things. I greet your most worthy bishop Polycarp, and your venerable presbytery, and your Christ-bearing deacons, my fellow-servants, and each of you individually, as well as collectively, in the name of Christ Jesus, and in His flesh and blood, in His passion and resurrection, both physical and spiritual, in union with God and you. Grace, mercy, peace, and patience be with you in Christ forevermore!
