Chapter 5: Expressing Respect for Ignatius.

BUT TIME WOULD FAIL ME IF I TRIED TO LIST ALL THOSE WHO PLEASED GOD IN THEIR YOUTH: having been entrusted by God with the roles of prophet, priest, or king. The ones I have mentioned should be enough to bring the subject to your remembrance. I ask you not to consider me presumptuous or showy in writing as I have. I have presented these statements not to instruct you, but simply to remind my father in God. I know my own position and do not compare myself to you. I greet your holy clergy and your Christ-loving people who are guided under your care as their pastor. All the faithful with us greet you. Pray, blessed shepherd, that I may be in health with respect to God.
