I pray that all may go well,
And you may be in good health;
As well with your soul to dwell,

Because I love in the truth,
As I rejoice greatly since;
The days throughout of my youth;
That the Scriptures do convince.

See about such a great love,
The Father has lavished us;
Constantly flows from above,
Nurtures heart and soul as thus.

Because I rejoice greatly,
When others had testified;
Indeed, you walk so stately,
Speaking of the crucified.

For I have no greater joy,
Than by hearing my nestlings;
By walking as an envoy,
As the spiritual darlings.

For it is a faithful thing,
Doing in all your efforts;
Strangers as they are that bring,
Knowledge how much God comforts.

I testify of your love,
That you hold before the church;
Bearing the witness thereof,
The charity that you search.

You will do well to send them,
On their journey for the Lord;
A worthy manner to stem,
For living in one accord.

For they have gone for the sake,
Of His name accepting nothing;
Giving to others to make,
Them understand and to cling.

Therefore, we ought to support,
These people seeking the truth;
They continue to exhort,
Not to be rude or uncouth.
