Die sieben Briefe des Ignatius von Antiochien (BKV)
Ignatius an die Epheser
Ignatius, der auch Theophorus (heißt), entbietet vielmals Gruß in Jesus Christus und in vollkommener Freude der mit Recht überglücklichen Kirche von Ephesus in (Klein-) Asien, die gesegnet ist in der Größe Gottes des Vaters durch reiche Gnade, die vor allen Zeiten vorherbestimmt ist, auf dass sie immerdar sei zum bleibenden, unveränderlichen Ruhme geeint und auserwählt in wahrem Leiden nach dem Willen des Vaters und Jesu Christi, unseres Gottes.
