Remember in your prayer the Church in Syria, which has God as Shepherd in my place. Its only Overseer will be Jesus Christ—and your love.
But I am ashamed to be called one of them, for I am not worthy, being the least of them and an untimely birth. But I have received mercy to be someone, if I attain God.
My spirit greets you, and so does the love of the Churches that received me in the name of Jesus Christ, not as a mere passerby. For even the Churches that were not on my physical route went ahead of me from city to city.
