beloved, concerning all things I desire thee to prosper, and to be in health, even as thy soul doth prosper,

I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, how thou in truth walkest.

I had many things to write; but I would not write to thee with ink and pen:

but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
