58 Χρόνου δὲ ἱκανοῦ διελθόντος καὶ μηδενὸς τῶν ἀδελφῶν ¹ λυπηθέντος πώποτε ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου, ἐλυπήθησαν τότε εἰρηκότος αὐτοῦ· Ἀδελφοί, ἤδη με καιρὸς τὴν Ἐφεσον καταλαβεῖν· συντίθεμαι γὰρ τοῖς ἐκεῖ μένουσι, μήπως ῥᾳθυμήσωσι πολλῷ χρόνῳ μὴ ἔχοντες ἄνθρωπον τὸν ἐπιστηρίζοντα αὐτούς· εἰς
δὲ τὸν θεὸν ἔχειν ὑμᾶς πάντας τὸν νοῦν, τὸν μὴ ἀπολιμπανόμενον ἡμῶν. Ἀκούοντες δὲ ταῦτα παῤ αὐτοῦ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἐπένθουν, ἐπειδὴ αὐτοῦ ἐχωρίζοντο. καὶ ὁ Ἰωάννης εἶπεν· Εἰ κἀγὼ χωρίζομαι ὑμῶν, ἀλλ᾿ ὁ Χριστὸς σὺν ὑμῖν ἐστιν ἀεί· ὃν ἐὰν καθαρῶς φιλῆτε, ἀνεπίλειπτον ἕξετε τὴν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ
κοινωνίαν· φιλούμενος γὰρ φθάνει τοὺς φιλοῦντας αὐτόν.

[58] Now when some long time had passed, and none of the brethren had been at any time grieved by John, they were then grieved because he had said: Brethren, it is now time for me to go to Ephesus (for so have I agreed with them that dwell there) lest they become slack, now for a long time having no man to confirm them. But all of you must have your minds steadfast towards God, who never forsaketh us.

But when they heard this from him, the brethren lamented because they were to be parted from him. And John said: Even if I be parted from you, yet Christ is alway with you: whom if ye love purely ye will have his fellowship without reproach, for if he be loved, he preventeth (anticipateth) them that love him.
