O, how all believers lie at my heart, so that I very
seldom forget them; yea, I remember them with
earnest prayers and requests (as much as is possible
to me through the grace of God) before the Lord.
I cannot write you much, for writing is more precious
than gold with me. Do not write us; as to the
reason why, ponder it yourselves. The God of Israel
keep you and us. Amen.

Matthias Servaes, your brother and prisoner of
the Lord for the truth’s sake. As regards the children
the bringing up of whom devolves upon the
church, I adhere to the opinion you have heard of
me. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us
all. Amen.
