Polycarp to Philippians 13

Apostolic Father

Chapter 13 — Concerning the transmission of epistles.

2Both you and Ignatius wrote to me, that if any one went from this into Syria, he should carry your letter with him; which request I will attend to if I find a fitting opportunity, either personally, or through some other acting for me, that your desire may be fulfilled.

3The Epistles of Ignatius written by him to us, and all the rest of his Epistles which we have by us, we have sent to you, as you requested.

4They are subjoined to this Epistle, and by them ye may be greatly profited; for they treat of faith and patience, and all things that tend to edification in our Lord.

5Any more certain information you may have obtained respecting both Ignatius himself, and those that were with him, have the goodness to make known to us.
