Nevertheless,\r\naccording to the\r\nwill of God, I have\r\nbeen thought worthy\r\n[of this honour], not\r\nthat I have any sense<a id=\"r1302\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f1302\"><sup>[1302]</sup></a>\r\n[of having deserved it],\r\nbut by the grace of\r\nGod, which I wish may\r\nbe perfectly given to\r\nme, that through your\r\nprayers I may attain to\r\nGod. In order, therefore,\r\nthat your work\r\nmay be complete both\r\non earth and in heaven,\r\nit is fitting that, for the\r\nhonour of God, your\r\nchurch should elect\r\nsome worthy delegate;<a id=\"r1303\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f1303\"><sup>[1303]</sup></a>\r\nso that he, journeying\r\ninto Syria, may congratulate\r\nthem that they\r\nare [now] at peace, and\r\nare restored to<a id=\"r1304\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f1304\"><sup>[1304]</sup></a> their\r\nproper greatness, and\r\nthat their proper constitution<a id=\"r1305\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f1305\"><sup>[1305]</sup></a>\r\nhas been re-established\r\namong them. It\r\nseems then to me a becoming\r\nthing, that you\r\nshould send some one\r\nof your number with an\r\nepistle, so that, in company\r\nwith them, he may\r\nrejoice<a id=\"r1306\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f1306\"><sup>[1306]</sup></a> over the tranquillity\r\nwhich, according\r\nto the will of God, they\r\nhave obtained, and because\r\nthat, through your\r\nprayers, they have now\r\nreached the harbour.\r\nAs persons who are\r\nperfect, ye should also\r\naim at<a id=\"r1307\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f1307\"><sup>[1307]</sup></a> those things\r\nwhich are perfect.
