Grace, mercy and peace from God our heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ

Grace, mercy and peace from God our heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father in truth and in love. May he strengthen and confirm you people, who now have to suffer persecution for a little while, and may he grant you to be strengthened with might in the inner man, and that Jesus Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, and you be rooted and grounded in love, so that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints of God, the height, and depth, and length and breadth of his mercy, and to rightly walk and remain immovable therein unto the end of your life; this we wish you all who love the Lord, for a cordial greeting, dear brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Be pleased to know that we are tolerably well yet, the Lord be praised forever for his grace. Pray to the Lord for us that he will order it according to his will. We are of pretty good courage, the Lord be praised. I seriously ask you to instruct carefully in all aspects the simple in the faith, and frequently speak of these things in the exhortation, for there is great need of it. Take this warning to heart, for it is such a blessed assurance, if one is sure of his faith.
