Chapter XV.—Salutations. Conclusion.
Philo and Agathopus the deacons salute you. I salute the company of virgins, and the
order of widows; of whom may I have joy! I salute the people of the Lord, from the least
unto the greatest. I have sent you this letter through Euphanius the reader, a man honoured
of God, and very faithful, happening to meet with him at Rhegium, just as he was going on
board ship. Remember my bonds872 that I may be made perfect in Christ. Fare ye well in
the flesh, the soul, and the spirit, while ye think of things perfect, and turn yourselves away
from the workers of iniquity, who corrupt the word of truth, and are strengthened inwardly
by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
872 Comp. Col. iv. 18.
