To the Magnesians 15.1 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:210

Ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς Ἐφέσιοι ἀπὸ Σμύρνης, ὅθεν καὶ γράφω ὑμῖν, παρόντες εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ, ὥσπερ καὶ ὑμεῖς οἳ κατὰ πάντα με ἀνέπαυσαν ἅμα Πολυκάρπῳ, ἐπισκόπῳ Σμυρναίων. καὶ αἱ λοιπαὶ δὲ ἐκκλησίαι ἐν τιμῇ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς. ἔρρωσθε ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ θεοῦ, κεκτημένοι ἀδιάκριτον πνεῦμα, ὅς ἐστιν Ἰησοῦς Χριστός.

English · Claude translation

The Ephesians greet you from Smyrna, from where I am also writing to you. They are here for the glory of God, as you are too, and they have refreshed me in every way, together with Polycarp, bishop of the Smyrnaeans. The other churches also greet you in honor of Jesus Christ. Farewell in godly concord, possessing an unwavering spirit, which is Jesus Christ.
