Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:118

τοῦτο δὲ ἐποιήσαμεν, ἵνα εἰδῆτε, ὅτι πᾶσα ἡμῖν φροντὶς καὶ γέγονεν καὶ ἔστιν εἰς τὸ ἐν τάχει ὑμᾶς εἰρηνεῦσαι.

We have done this so that you may know that our whole concern has been and is that you may quickly be at peace.

Text: As printed in Lake, LCL 24. Manuscript variants and the editor's apparatus are not reproduced; no textual problem is noted in this passage.
Translation: Claude translation (claude-opus-5-5), 2026-09-26 · Translated by Claude from the Greek text of Lake (LCL 24, 1912); made independently of existing English translations.
Compare: Ante-Nicene Fathers, vol. 1 (1885) (an older public-domain English translation, whole volume at CCEL; checked against ours only after ours was made) · That translation lacks 57.7–63.4 (a missing leaf in its manuscript); vol. 9 (1896) translates the complete text.

Digital text corrected (digitization slip against Lake's printed text (wrong breathing); punctuation slip in the digital text (the sentence continues)): εἰδῆτε. ὅτι → εἰδῆτε, ὅτι; τὸ ὲν τάχει → τὸ ἐν τάχει.
