They greatly tormented me with those who
brought the man that was sick of the palsy; they
said that his sins were forgiven through the faith
of those who brought him; and that thus it was,
through the faith of father and mother, with infants,
in baptism. But he does not say: through the faith
of those who brought him; it simply says: seeing
their faith. Matt. 9:2; Mark 2:5.

I have written this much out of love; if I have
not written you truly, bear with me; but I think I
have written according to the Scriptures; receive it
kindly. Farewell. I must affectionately greet the
friends everywhere, requesting that they pray for
me. Know that I am of good cheer, the Lord be
praised. The grace of the Lord be with you all.
Amen.
