Epistle to the Smyrnaeans (Short Version)

The love of the brethren at Troas salutes you; from there I also write to you through Burrhus, whom you sent with me, along with the Ephesians, your brethren, and who has refreshed me in all things. I wish that everyone may imitate him, as he is a model of a minister of God. Grace will reward him in all things. I salute your most worthy bishop, your very venerable presbytery, your deacons, my fellow-servants, and all of you individually, as well as collectively, in the name of Jesus Christ, and in His flesh and blood, in His passion and resurrection, both corporeal and spiritual, in union with God and you. Grace, mercy, peace, and patience be with you forevermore!
