2 EPISTLE TO THE LAODICEANS
3 It exists only in Latin: the oldest copy is in the Fulda MS. written for Victor of Capua in 546. It is mentioned by various writers from the fourth century onwards, notably by Gregory the Great, to whose influence may ultimately be due the frequent occurrence of it in Bibles written in England; for it is commoner in English MSS. than in others. As will be seen, it is wholly uninteresting, and was merely written to justify or explain St. Paul’s mention of the letter from Laodicea in Col. iv. 16.
4 1 Paul, an apostle not of men nor by man, but by Yahshua the Messiah, unto the brethren that are at Laodicea.
5 2 Grace be unto you and peace from Elohim the Father and Adonai Yahshua the Messiah.
6 3 I give thanks unto Messiah in all my prayers, that ye continue in him and persevere in his works, looking for the promise at the day of judgement.
