Chapter 10: Recognition of Their Kindness

You have done well in receiving Philo and Rheus Agathopus as servants of Christ our God, who have followed me for the sake of God and who give thanks to the Lord on your behalf, because you have in every way refreshed them. None of these things will be lost to you. May my spirit be with you, and my bonds, which you have not despised or been ashamed of; nor will Jesus Christ, our perfect hope, be ashamed of you.
