1 The apostle testifieth his regard and good wishes for a certain pious matron and her children, and his joy in their good behaviour: 5 he exhorteth them to persevere in Christian love and belief, that they lose not their full reward: 10 and to have nothing to do with those seducers that bring not the true doctrine of Christ. 12 He hopeth to see them shortly, and concludeth with salutations.
