Ignatius to the Ephesians

IgnEph. 21

Ignatius to the Ephesians · Hieromartyr Ignatius the God-bearer of Antioch

I am devoted to you and to those whom for the honor of God ye sent to Smyrna; whence also I write unto you with thanksgiving to the Lord, having love for Polycarp as I have for you also. Remember me, even as I would that Jesus Christ may also remember you.

Ign Eph 21.1

Pray for the church which is in Syria, whence I am led a prisoner to Rome-- I who am the very last of the faithful there; according as I was counted worthy to be found unto the honor of God. Fare ye well in God the Father and in Jesus Christ our common hope.

Ign Eph 21.2
