The Second Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians665
Ignatius, who is [also called] Theophorus, to the Church which is blessed in the greatness
of God the Father, and perfected; to her who was selected666 from eternity, that she might be
at all times for glory, which abideth, and is unchangeable, and is perfected and chosen in the
purpose of truth by the will of the Father of Jesus Christ our God; to her who is worthy of
happiness; to her who is at Ephesus, in Jesus Christ, in joy which is unblameable: [wishes]
abundance of happiness.
665 Another inscription is, “Epistle the Second, which is to the Ephesians.”
666 Literally, “separated.”
