[1] Ἀσπάζομαι ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ Σμύρνης ἅμα ταῖς συμπαρούσαις μοι ἐκκλησίαις τοῦ θεοῦ, οἲ κατὰ πάντα με ἀνέπαυσαν σαρκί τε καὶ πνεύματι.

[2] παρακαλεῖ ὑμᾶς τὰ δεσμά μου, ἃ ἕνεκεν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ περιφέρω, αἰτούμενος θεοῦ ἐπιτυχεῖν: διαμένετε ἐν τῇ ὁμονοίᾳ ὑμῶν καὶ τῇ μετ̓ ἀλλήλων προσευχῇ. πρέπει γὰρ ὑμῖν τοῖς καθ̓ ἕνα, ἐξαιρέτως καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις, ἀναψύχειν τὸν ἐπίσκοπον εἰς τιμὴν πατρός, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ τῶν ἀποστόλων.

[3] εὔχομαι ὑμᾶς ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἀκοῦσαί μου, ἵνα μὴ εἶς μαρτύριον ὦ ἐν ὑμῖν γράψας. καὶ περὶ ἐμοῦ δὲ προσεύχεσθε, τῆς ἀφ̓ ὑμῶν ἀγάπης χρῄζοντος ἐν τῷ ἐλέει τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰς τὸ καταξιωθῆναί με τοῦ κλήρου, οὖ περίκειμαι ¹² ἐπιτυχεῖν, ἵνα μὴ ἀδόκιμος εὑρεθῶ,

The Epistles of Saint Ignatius Perseus (Ignatius of Antioch. The Apostolic Fathers, Volume 1. Lake, Kirsopp, translator. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press; London: William Heinemann Ltd., 1912.) — 3.12 focus

[1] I greet you from Smyrna together with the¹ Churches of God that are present with me, men who in all things have given me rest in the flesh and in the spirit.

[2] My bonds exhort you, which I carry about for the sake of Jesus Christ, praying that I may attain to God; continue in your present harmony and in prayer with one another. For it is right that each of you, and especially the presbyters, should refresh the bishop, to the honour of the Father, of Jesus Christ, and of the Apostles.

[3] I entreat you to listen to me in love, that I become not by my writing a witness against you. And pray for me also, for· I have need of your love in the mercy of God, that I may be granted the lot which I am set to obtain, that I be not found reprobate.
