Ignatius - Epistle to the Trallians

Written around 107 AD, Saint Ignatius of Antioch’s Epistle to the Trallians exhorts the Christians of Tralles to remain faithful, humble, and united under their bishop, priests, and deacons. Ignatius warns them against false teachers who deny the true humanity and suffering of Christ, affirming that Jesus truly took flesh, was crucified, and rose again. The letter emphasizes obedience to Church authority, steadfastness in faith, and the unity of believers in love and truth.
