[2] especially if the Lord reveal¹ to me that you all severally join in the common meeting in grace from his name,² in one faith and in Jesus Christ, who was of the family of David according to the flesh, the Son of Man and the Son of God, so that you obey the bishop and the presbytery with an undisturbed mind, breaking one bread, which is the medicine of immortality, the antidote that we should not die, but live for ever in Jesus Christ.

Notes on the current edition

Epistles

1. This appears to be the only possible translation. But the text is not improbably corrupt.

2. Or possibly, as Lightfoot thinks, ἐξ ὀνόματος means every individual of you. It is in any case a strange phrase.
