Now, as to Philo the deacon, of Cilicia, a
man of reputation, who still ministers to me in the word of God, along
with Rheus Agathopus, an elect man, who has followed me from Syria, not
regarding967
his life,—these
bear witness in your behalf; and I myself give thanks to God for you,
that ye have received them, even as the Lord you. But may those that
dishonoured them be forgiven through the grace of Jesus Christ! The love of the brethren at
Troas salutes you; whence also I write to you by Burrhus, who was sent
along with me by the Ephesians and Smyrnæans, to show their
respect.968

the sake of honour.” | May the Lord Jesus Christ honour them, in
whom they hope, in flesh, and soul, and faith, and love, and concord!
Fare ye well in Christ Jesus,
our common hope.
