Polycarp to the Philippians

These things, brethren, I write unto you concerning righteousness, not because I laid this charge upon myself, but because ye invited me.

Ταῦτα, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἐμαυτῷ ἐπιτρέψας γράφω ὑμῖν περὶ τῆς δικαιοσύνης, ἀλλ̓ ἐπεὶ ὑμεῖς προεπεκαλέσασθέ με.

For neither am I, nor is any other like unto me, able to follow the wisdom of the blessed and glorious Paul, who when he came among you taught face to face with the men of that day the word which concerneth truth carefully and surely; who also, when he was absent, wrote a letter unto you, into the which if ye look diligently, ye shall be able to be builded up unto the faith given to you,
