It is fitting, O Polycarp, most blessed in God, to assemble a very solemn council, and to elect one whom you greatly love, and know to be a man of activity, who may be designated the messenger of God; and to bestow on him this honour that he may go into Syria, and glorify your ever active love to the praise of Christ. A Christian has not power over himself, but must always be ready for the service of God. Now, this work is both God’s and yours, when ye shall have completed it to His glory. For I trust that, through grace, ye are prepared for every good work pertaining to God. Knowing, therefore, your energetic love of the truth, I have exhorted you by this brief Epistle."],"source_library_url":"/library/ab8e671014f3f147d7b0/#ws-library-full-note:ab8e671014f3f147d7b0:cite_note-49","source_url":"https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Ante-Nicene_Fathers/Volume_I/Epistle_to_Polycarp:_Shorter_and_Longer_Versions#cite_note-49","translator":"Alexander Roberts (historical edition translation credit; individual allocation qualified), James Donaldson (historical edition translation credit; individual allocation qualified), Alexander Roberts (Edinburgh series editor), James Donaldson (Edinburgh series editor), Arthur Cleveland Coxe (American revision with prefaces and notes)","verification":{"proof_file":"raw/review/source-library-note-batch-0061/proof-records.jsonl","proof_file_sha256":"7c4407a5986a306f1eaff33bf3f1bf135fc2e65f72270d1b3381ed0616bfbce3","proof_record_id":"ws-library-full-note:ab8e671014f3f147d7b0:cite_note-49"},"verified":true,"work":"Epistle to Polycarp: Shorter and Longer Versions","work_id":"ws-anf1-remaining-1885-ab8e671014f3f147d7b0"}
