I have many things to write: But I will not with pen and ink write unto thee.

I Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord.

“I assure you: Anyone who doesn’t enter the sheep pen by the door but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Law to become void.

For truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the Law, until all things are accomplished.

For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all [Jew and Gentile alike].
