Ignatius to the Magnesians 14

Apostolic Father

Chapter 14 — Your prayers requested.

2Knowing as I do that ye are full of God, I have but briefly exhorted you.

3Be mindful of me in your prayers, that I may attain to God; and of the Church which is in Syria, whence I am not worthy to derive my name: for I stand in need of your united prayer in God, and your love, that the Church which is in Syria may be deemed worthy of being refreshed by your Church.

4Knowing as I do that ye are full of all good, I have but briefly exhorted you in the love of Jesus Christ.

5Be mindful of me in your prayers, that I may attain to God; and of the Church which is in Syria, of whom I am not worthy to be called bishop.

6For I stand in need of your united prayer in God, and of your love, that the Church which is in Syria may be deemed worthy, by your good order, of being edified in Christ.
