Polycarp of Smyrna

Epistle to the Philippians

Chapter 14

Conclusion.

These things I have written to you by Crescens, whom up to the present1 time I have recommended unto you, and do now recommend. For he has acted blamelessly among us, and I believe also among you. Moreover, ye will hold his sister in esteem when she comes to you. Be ye safe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with you all.2 Amen.
