Send back quickly to us our messengers Claudius[*](Message as to Roman representatives) Ephebus and Valerius Vito and Fortunatus, in peace with gladness, in order that they may report the sooner the peace and concord which we pray for and desire, that we also may the more speedily rejoice in your good order.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you[*](Final blessing and doxology) and with all, in every place, who have been called ! by God through him, through whom be to him glory, honour, power and greatness and eternal dominion, from eternity to eternity. Amen.
