As for Philo, the deacon from Cilicia, a man well attested, who even now serves me in the word of God together with Rheus Agathopous, a chosen man who follows me from Syria after renouncing this life: they also testify concerning you, and I give thanks to God for you because you received them, as the Lord also received you. But may those who dishonored them be redeemed in the grace of Jesus Christ.
The love of the brothers in Troas greets you. From there I am also writing to you through Burrhus, who was sent with me by the Ephesians and Smyrnaeans as a token of honor. The Lord Jesus Christ will honor them; in Him they hope with flesh, soul, and spirit, with faith, love, and harmony. Farewell in Christ Jesus, our common hope.
