Ignatius, who is also called Theophorus, to her[*](i.e. the Church.)[*](Greetings) who is blessed in the Grace of God the Father by Christ Jesus, our Saviour, in whom I greet the Church which is in Magnesia on the Maeander, and bid it in God the Father and in Christ Jesus abundant greeting.

Knowing the great orderliness of your love[*](Prayer for the church) towards God I gladly determined to address you in the faith of Jesus Christ.
