Epistle to the Trallians (Short Version)

I greet you from Smyrna, along with the Churches of God that are with me, who have refreshed me in all things, both in the flesh and in the spirit. My bonds, which I carry with me for the sake of Jesus Christ (praying that I may attain to God), urge you. Continue in harmony among yourselves and in prayer with one another; for it is fitting for each of you, and especially the presbyters, to refresh the bishop, to the honor of the Father, of Jesus Christ, and of the apostles. I beg you in love to listen to me, so that my writing may not be a testimony against you. And you also pray for me, who need your love, along with the mercy of God, that I may be worthy of the destiny for which I am intended, and that I may not be found unworthy.
