1. All these promises are made to us, my dear friends. So then, let us purify ourselves from everything that makes body or soul unclean, and let us be completely holy by living in awe of God.
2. Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one; we have ruined no one, nor tried to take advantage of anyone.
3. I do not say this to condemn you; for, as I have said before, you are so dear to us that we are always together, whether we live or die.
4. I am so sure of you; I take such pride in you! In all our troubles I am still full of courage; I am running over with joy.
