To the church of Jesus Christ, grace and peace be unto you. To all who are fellow prisoners and brethren of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; and great love from God our Father, who is blessed forever. Amen. I brethren a fellow servant of the Prince of Peace, the Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, and the Everlasting Father write unto the beloved friends of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ Grace and peace be unto you all from the Father of Light; and joy in the Lord because of the cross of Christ unto the fellow children of light. I Marcus, a fellow servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, do write unto you so that you might know the truth of him who is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last. And I brethren, was sent unto you all, as one out of time, yet I am even as you are: a fellow laborer in the Spirit of bonds, placed here willfully, in these last days to tell you of his truth, and to preach unto you the explicit true message of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And though I am with you in pains and sufferings, with all long suffering in the Spirit I nevertheless must tell you all the truth, as it concerns the church of our Lord. I write unto you for his namesake, and the gospel's thereof. Yea, rather, it is because of the gospel and the Holy Spirit of our Lord that I have the knowledge wherewith to serve both him and thee in truth, unto all righteousness in faith.
