Summary: Greetings; pray for the church in Syria.

## Greek text

Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς ἡ ἀγάπη Σμυρναίων καὶ Ἐφεσίων. μνημονεύετε ἐν ταῖς προσευχαῖς ὑμῶν τῆς ἐν Συρίᾳ ἐκκλησίας, ὅθεν καὶ οὐκ ἄξιός εἰμι λέγεσθαι, ὢν ἔσχατος ἐκείνων.

## English translation (Claude)

The love of the Smyrnaeans and Ephesians greets you. Remember in your prayers the church in Syria, of which I am not worthy to be called a member, being the least of them.
