Epistles of Ignatius

Chapter X.--Acknowledgment of their kindness.

Ye have done well in receiving Philo and Rheus Agathopus as servants 1 of Christ our God, who have followed me for the sake of God, and who give thanks to the Lord in your behalf, because ye have in every way refreshed them. None of these things shall be lost to you. May my spirit be for you, 2 and my bonds, which ye have not despised or been ashamed of; nor shall Jesus Christ, our perfect hope, be ashamed of you.

Ye have done well in receiving Philo, and Gaius, and Agathopus, who, being the servants 3 of Christ, have followed me for the sake of God, and who greatly bless the Lord in your behalf, because ye have in every way refreshed them. None of those things which ye have done to them shall be passed by without being reckoned unto you. "The Lord grant" to you "that ye may find mercy of the Lord in that day!" 4

May my spirit be for you, 5 and my bonds, which ye have not despised or been ashamed of. Wherefore, neither shall Jesus Christ, our perfect hope, be ashamed of you.

Die sieben Briefe des Ignatius von Antiochien (BKV)

10. Kap. Dank für die Aufnahme der Begleiter.

S. 151 1. Dass ihr den Philo und den Rheus Agathopus, die mir um Gottes willen gefolgt sind, wie Diakonen Christi des Gottes aufgenommen habt, daran habt ihr gut getan; sie danken auch dem Herrn für euch, weil ihr sie auf jegliche Weise erquickt habt. Nichts wird euch verloren gehen. 2. Als Entgelt für euch (gebe ich) meinen Geist und meine Fesseln, die ihr nicht verachtet, deren ihr euch nicht geschämt habt. Auch eurer wird sich nicht schämen der vollkommene Glaube, Jesus Christus.
