## Greek text

ἔρρωσθε ἐν Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ, ὑποτασσόμενοι τῷ ἐπισκόπῳ ὡς τῇ ἐντολῇ, ὁμοίως καὶ τῷ πρεσβυτερίῳ. καὶ οἱ κατʼ ἄνδρα ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶτε ἐν ἀμερίστῳ καρδίᾳ.

## English translation (Claude)

Farewell in Jesus Christ, being subject to the bishop as to the commandment, and likewise to the council of presbyters. And each of you, love one another with an undivided heart.
