The Ephesians from Smyrna (whence I also write to you), who are here for
the glory of God, as ye also are, who have in all things refreshed me,
salute you, as does also Polycarp. The rest of the Churches, in honour
of Jesus Christ, also salute you. Fare ye well in harmony, ye who have
obtained the inseparable Spirit, in Christ Jesus, by the will of God.
