13. Kap. Weitere Grüße.

1. Ich grüße die Familien meiner Brüder mit ihren Frauen und Kindern und den Jungfrauen, die man „Witwen“ nennt. Lebt mir wohl in Kraft des Geistes. Es grüßt euch Philo, der bei mir ist. 2. Ich grüße das Haus der Tavia, der ich wünsche, dass sie gefestigt werde in Glaube und Liebe, der fleischlichen wie der geistigen. Ich grüße Alke, den mir teuren Namen, und Daphnus den Unvergleichlichen, und Euteknus und alle, Name für Name. Lebet wohl in Gottes Gnade!

Epistles of Ignatius

Chapter XIII.--Conclusion.

I salute the families of my brethren, with their wives and children, and the virgins who are called widows. 1 Be ye strong, I pray, in the power of the Holy Ghost. Philo, who is with me, greets you. I salute the house of Tavias, and pray that it may be confirmed in faith and love, both corporeal and spiritual. I salute Alce, my well-beloved, 2 and the incomparable Daphnus, and Eutecnus, and all by name. Fare ye well in the grace of God.

I salute the families of my brethren, with their wives and children, and those that are ever virgins, and the widows. Be ye strong, I pray, in the power of the Holy Ghost. Philo, my fellow-servant, who is with me, greets you. I salute the house of Tavias, and pray that it may be confirmed in faith and love, both corporeal and spiritual. I salute Alce, my well-beloved, 3 and the incomparable Daphnus, and Eutecnus, and all by name. Fare ye well in the grace of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and divine and sacred wisdom.
