Epistle to the Trallians (LongVersion)

I greet you from Smyrna, along with the Churches of God that are with me, whose leaders have refreshed me in every way, both physically and spiritually. My bonds, which I bear for the sake of Jesus Christ (praying that I may reach God), encourage you. Maintain harmony among yourselves, and keep praying; for it is fitting for each of you, and especially the presbyters, to support the bishop, to the honor of the Father, and to the honor of Jesus Christ and the apostles. I appeal to you in love to listen to me, so that my writing may not stand as a testimony against you. And also pray for me, who needs your love, along with the mercy of God, that I may be found worthy to achieve the destiny I am now intended for, and that I may not be found unworthy.
