Knowing as I do that ye are full of God, I have but briefly exhorted you. Be mindful of
me in your prayers, that I may attain to God; and of the Church which is in Syria, whence
I am not worthy to derive my name: for I stand in need of your united prayer in God, and
your love, that the Church which is in Syria may be deemed worthy of being refreshed246
by your Church.
Knowing as I do that ye are full of all good, I have but briefly exhorted you in the love
of Jesus Christ. Be mindful of me in your prayers, that I may attain to God; and of the Church
which is in Syria, of whom I am not worthy to be called bishop. For I stand in need of your
united prayer in God, and of your love, that the Church which is in Syria may be deemed
worthy, by your good order, of being edified247 in Christ.
