Great has been the zeal of your love so far, and we testify to your gratitude that for such a long time you stood adamantly with the courage that was due to you, not giving in to anyone who wanted to win you over to their side; but at the same time we ask you to complete your feat with a proper end. The more work you do, the higher the rewards and rewards for them will be from the man-loving God. We would like to personally see your honesty, but since the bonds of exile do not allow us this and tie us to one place, we send to you my lord, the most honest and reverent presbyter, and, bringing through him the due greeting, we ask you to accept the assurance of the feelings of our constant, great and deep gratitude to your piety and to condescendingly excuse us for our previous long silence, especially since it is by no means It was due to inattention and not out of disdain for you that we did not write anything for so long. For the first time, we have now found a person who can go to where you are now and deliver our letter to you; and therefore now we are only writing to you, notifying you of our situation. Please accept it favorably, with sincere affection, and please notify us about your health. And while we are in the desert, we will find our greatest consolation in this news. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
