English · Claude translation

“We, then, keep the day without tampering, neither adding nor taking away. For in Asia too great luminaries have fallen asleep, who will rise again on the day of the Lord's coming, when he comes with glory from heaven and will raise up all the saints: Philip, one of the twelve apostles, who has fallen asleep in Hierapolis, and two of his daughters who grew old as virgins, and his other daughter, who lived in the Holy Spirit and rests at Ephesus;
