Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrnaeans 6.9
It is good for us now to come to our senses, while we still have time to repent and turn to God. It is good to know God and the bishop. Whoever honors the bishop has been honored by God. Whoever does anything in secret from the bishop serves the devil.
So let everything abound among you in grace, for you are worthy of it. You have refreshed me in every way, and Jesus Christ will refresh you. You loved me both when I was absent and when I was present. God is your reward: through him, enduring all things, you will obtain him.
Greek
Εὔλογόν ἐστιν λοιπὸν ἀνανῆψαι ἡμᾶς, ὡς ἔτι καιρὸν ἔχομεν εἰς θεὸν μετανοεῖν. καλῶς ἔχει, θεὸν καὶ ἐπίσκοπον εἰδέναι. ὁ τιμῶν ἐπίσκοπον ὑπὸ θεοῦ τετίμηται: ὁ λάθρα ἐπισκόπου τι πράσσων τῷ διαβόλῳ λατρεύει.
πάντα οὖν ὑμῖν ἐν χάριτι περισσευέτω: ἄξιοι γάρ ἐστε. κατὰ πάντα με ἀνεπαύσατε, καὶ ὑμᾶς Ἰησοῦς Χριστός. ἀπόντα με καὶ πάροντα ἠγαπήσατε. ἀμοιβὴ ὑμῖν ὁ θεός, δἰ ὃν πάντα ὑπομένοντες αὐτοῦ τεύξεσθε.
